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 bolony they have been using this tech to get more oil from the ground for years, tax carbon emissions but have a policy in place so the company cannot pass the cost of carbon emission cost onto average people.
@9TLF4ZN1mo1MO
If it’s your mess clean it up, same goes here they can afford it if they cause the harm they pay the price. It’s pretty common sense no?
@9SLJBJV2mos2MO
No, and add tax deterrents for companies that aren’t doing it
@9RTLWCPIndependent3mos3MO
Yes, maybe not subsidies, but some kind of incentive
@9RC2NJV3mos3MO
No. All companies should be using CC by a set date, and should he penalized after this date if they are not.
@9RC2QHKNew Democratic3mos3MO
No, and charge/tax companies that previously accepted subsidies after being investigated on the autheticity of their stats.
@9RBVFQQ3mos3MO
No, it is better to focus on not emitting the carbon in the first place. Invest in that.
@9QZCYDN3mos3MO
Either really small ones or not at all. The focus should be on replacing fossil fuels.
@9PSJ5S84mos4MO
Only under strict audit and only if the money stays in Canada.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 4mos4MO
Yes, but put more effort into lessening the use of fuel that produce high carbon emissions.
@9NR37C64mos4MO
Yes but this shouldn't be an alternative to net zero
@9N8VP995mos5MO
No, instead provide subsidies to companies, researchers, or organizations developing proven solutions such as renewables and nuclear
@9MXJRLQ5mos5MO
No, carbon capture is a band-aid solution for a rapidly escalating global crisis. Startups in this industry would only waste tax-payer money that would be better spent actively fighting climate change and reducing overall carbon output.
@9FGSKLL 5mos5MO
No, instead provide incentives to companies that meet environmental standards set by the government
No, develop green technologies & green infrastructure instead.
