The laws of physics mean that no matter what we do with carbon capture it is never going to be cheaper and less energy to emit it and then capture it again

That's not the same as saying it'll emit more carbon than it captures, which seems to be what you're tilting at.

We need to undo the damage we have already done. Carbon dioxide has a climate delay time of about 200ish years, so it's critical that we remove historical carbon, or we are totally buggered, regardless of what we do with green energy today.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
