Reply to comment by PartyYogurtcloset267 in Carbon capture nets 2 billion tonnes of CO2 each year — but it's not enough. As well as cutting emissions, governments need to ramp up investment in carbon dioxide removal technologies to hit climate goals. by filosoful

Exactly! We can probably fund coal PREVETION for around $25 per ton (ie spend 50% more to use an alternate power source).

The numbers just don't support carbon capture - though I am not against spending on more carbon capture research to keep looking for a 100x more efficient method.

But caputalism does. Imagine how much money these companies can make out of government subsidies. It's awesome if you're an investor.
