This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Carbon capture tech.
That one is still being promoted but in the end the CO2 is mainly used to get more oil out of wells.
Oh yeah, definitely this. The economics will probably never allow it to be deployed at a scale where it will make any sort of difference.
Instead, it is used as an excuse to not take any action on climate change which is actually realistic, albeit hard.
Agreed. Future carbon capture capabilities are used to justify current emissions.
Yep.
