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.

“ 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.
