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.

I hate this one. People who have been following carbon capture for years know who is doing it sincerely and who is using it for greenwashing. Of course oil companies who say they’re doing carbon capture are doing greenwashing, no one should be surprised about that. Companies like Climeworks are doing real CCS.
