That's because it absolutely is a clean Coal situation. What carbon capture advocates don't tell you is it costs more money and energy to research, Implement, maintain and store the captured carbon from the carbon capture tech than it is to just switch to greener ways to begin with. And if at any point someone stops paying the energy bill, all that captured carbon will just find itself magically put back into the atmosphere.
So is it any wonder why energy companies are so heavily pushing carbon capture? It's a fucking infinite payday for them. To say nothing of the additional space requirements to store the shit to begin with.
But it doesn't even matter, Because this is all SciFi to begin with since the tech is nowhere close to being able to capture what we need it to capture, on the scale we need it, at an affordable price to justify it.
