Carbon capture technologies are methods designed to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power plants to prevent them from entering the atmosphere. Proponents argue that subsidies would accelerate the development of essential technologies to combat climate change. Opponents argue that it is too costly and that the market should drive innovation without government intervention.

@9NF9B4M2mos2MO
No, but companies should be taxed for their carbon emissions and this will incentivize them to invest in carbon capture technologies and other ways of reducing pollution
@GavinKuebler2mos2MO
No, they are a largely inefficient means of reducing carbon since they focus only on reversing environmental harm rather than reducing it and can be used to justify further carbon emissions.
@SenBR2003 2mos2MO
Yes, but only in tandem with supporting renewable energy production.

No, carbon capture is not scientifically feasible currently, due to the fact that we have not transitioned to fully-green energy, as the inherent energy involved results in more carbon emissions than it captures; carbon capture should only be utilized once we have an over-production of sustainable energy, such as nuclear and solar; instead, we should focus on more feasible temporary methods to prevent further damage, such as high-atmosphere stratospheric aerosol injection.

All companies should be forced to operate with such technology if they are involved in such business. They need not develop their own tech, and may buy from other players in market
@9R6WQQS6 days6D
No, carbon capture tech is not viable. The Government should invest in sustainable energy solutions instead.
