I agree, but until we’re a lot closer to zero carbon emissions than we are now, capture technology should be treated as research. Prototypes, even proof of scalability prototypes are fine, but they should not be sucking resources from emission reduction or, worse, trying to replace emission reduction.
Carbon capture is a scam. We need to reduce carbon emissions. Capturing will never be an economical way of stopping climate catastrophe.
I suspect there will be a point where economics don’t matter anymore and we don’t have a choice.

100%! But the research is still vital, and we should be doing more of it while being way more aggressive about carbon reduction.
We are WAY past that point
