    The laws of physics mean that no matter what we do with carbon capture it is never going to be cheaper and less energy to emit it and then capture it again

    That’s not the same as saying it’ll emit more carbon than it captures, which seems to be what you’re tilting at.

    We need to undo the damage we have already done. Carbon dioxide has a climate delay time of about 200ish years, so it’s critical that we remove historical carbon, or we are totally buggered, regardless of what we do with green energy today.
