Yeah, carbon capture doesn’t math. I think the saying is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The only reason why it is promoted is because the fossil fuel cartels push it as it moves the blame and focus from them to someone else’s problem. Then a bunch of garbage “carbon credit” companies start up and make a lot of noise while doing basically nothing. All the while they can keep pushing for fossil fuel projects because “it’s fine, carbon capture will solve it”.
