“If you spend $1 on carbon capture instead of on wind, water, and solar, you are increasing CO2, air pollution, energy requirements, energy costs, pipelines, and total social costs…”
A Stanford model of 149 countries finds carbon capture costs more and pollutes more than switching to wind, water, and solar. The renewables path cuts annual energy costs nearly 60%. Carbon capture lets fossil producers keep burning. That is the point of it.
