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.
@9TLF4ZN2mos2MO
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?
@9SLJBJV3mos3MO
No, and add tax deterrents for companies that aren’t doing it
@9RTLWCP4mos4MO
Yes, maybe not subsidies, but some kind of incentive
@9RC2NJV4mos4MO
No. All companies should be using CC by a set date, and should he penalized after this date if they are not.
@9RC2QHK4mos4MO
No, and charge/tax companies that previously accepted subsidies after being investigated on the autheticity of their stats.
@9RBVFQQ4mos4MO
No, it is better to focus on not emitting the carbon in the first place. Invest in that.
@9QZCYDN4mos4MO
Either really small ones or not at all. The focus should be on replacing fossil fuels.
