Don’t equate ”Direct Air Capture” with carbon capture

Even if the faucet is just a drip, the drip will eventually fill the tub.

Technology at the prototype stage is more expensive than one with over a century of development.
Who could have possibly imagined such an improbable result!?
Of course we all know that solar panels were immediately profitable!

Duh. Not generating something in the first place is better than producing it and trying to catch it/clean up afterward? Huwudatunk!

CC is a scam designed by big oil
They have no intention of helping the planet lol

I think industrial Carbon capture is kind of DOA.
Better carbon capture is just growing a lot of biomass, particularly trees, and then using that for non-combustable purposes (building materials, containers, etc). It is a win-win-win-win
1. Large areas of land must be dedicated to this, preventing erosion, reducing flooding and limiting suburban sprawl
2. The areas of forest provide habitat for animals and recration for humans
3. Land can be dual-use (trees above, crops below) and help with food production
4. Air quality improves (trees filter air and release O2 while growing, industrial carbon capture does not)
5. Provides more employement for planting trees, tending trees, harvesting trees
There are plenty more benefits, but these are just some.
