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.

No, tax emissions and invest in reforestation and land rehabilitation for environmental gain instead
@B346JKP1wk1W
Yes but only if these companies are not using it to continue extracting and burning fossil fuels
@B2WPBG93wks3W
It depends. 'Developing' a technology could be used as a dodge if they have no intention of doing anything with it. But if they're actually implementing it, then yes.
@B2KWFG61mo1MO
tax carbon emissions and invest in planting more trees.
@9WBCNY84mos4MO
No, but consider tax incentives for R&D projects independently address as viable with investing in
@9V4LVQR5mos5MO
Yes, and tax carbon emissions to subsidise the capture technology..

“ Carbon capture is not effective by itself, and especially not under capitalism where its very reason for existence of infinite economic growth on a planet with finite resources is unsustainable. Carbon capture should be a method used, but not the only one. It should work in conjunction with other methods of combating climate change. And it starts by destroying the thing that's destroying the earth... that being capitalism, and replace it with Marxism-Leninism, achieved through class struggle.” = thanks to eloquent comment.

Only legitimate methods with a sound scientific proposal.
