We absolutely do need carbon capture research and development, along with gradually scaling up carbon capture projects.

Unfortunately, carbon capture is useless if we're still burning fossil fuels for power, heat, and transport.

Carbon capture is actively harmful when used as an excuse to build new fossil fuel power plants.

If you can scale it up on renewables only to somewhere around a few million tons a year, then maybe.

Look into the finances of carbon capture companies

They spend 90% of their budget on marketing across the board because they’re just fossil fuel companies in disguise

Yeah, it's a blank check to just produce more CO2.

Carbon capture is easy. Plant more trees.

And build more housing with them.

Woah there, wood? The stuff that blows over and not GLORIOUS STONE AND CONCRETE? I think you may be on yo something. Just don't tell Europe a lot of them get mad at the sight of wood houses
