Trees do it much cheaper.
Yeah, I mean I think carbon capture is kinda stupid on one level. It's like an excuse for us to not change our behavior
Yup. It's a technological antisolution.
An argument is that this is what we should use excess green electricity for. But it does not make sense to run such expensive equipment only a few hours each day. I prefer matching the supply to demand with hydro storage, not to mention that most grids are nowhere near 100% renewable.
