An alternative way to look at it is that we should focus on the solutions that actually make sense. Carbon capture is like plastic recycling, the solution to it isn't to try to recycle harder, it's to reduce the use of plastics so we don't have anything to recycle.
Also, do you know what the majority of the captured Co2 is currently used? To extract oil.
