Not saying carbon capture will never work, but so far, well…

@thomasfuchs I'll say it then: carbon capture and storage will never work.
Storing it as a gas underground makes no sense whatsoever.
Converting it to other forms takes more energy than we get from turning it into a gas in the first place.
I can always be proven wrong but as things are I am 100% confident that the way forward is to treat it as a laughable form of greenwashing by the most evil lobbies on the planet.
@renardboy @thomasfuchs
Yup. Preventing emissions is 1000x more efficient than capture and storage. If and when we have so much surplus of green energy that we can use it to clean the air, go for it, but otherwise, it's replacing one shitstain with another. -
@sheddi @nimro @thomasfuchs It’s here: https://projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-capture-cant-solve-climate-change/
The graphs are by ProPublica, the data is from the IEA, and they discuss it properly at the end*

@noctuaminervae thank you!
