Except that energy production is local, while carbon capture is global. If you power a carbon capture device in Greenland using geothermal, you can probably get a lot more energy than you can reasonably give you the grid. In that case, using the rest for carbon capture makes sense. Further, carbon capture is going to need to be part of our future mix, as we'll never be able to be 100% green in the reasonable future. It's good to spend a tiny percentage of our resources now improving the technology.
