As long as parents can deny their children spending money, the blame for liquor stores marketing and selling to children can be assigned to the parents.

The problem with carbon capture is that (a) it takes a lot of energy and (b) is only marginally ahead of fusion on being ready for widespread deployment. So compared to that basically anything is a better alternative. In the case of Norway,
