Problems at two CCS “success stories” cast fresh doubt on the technology

CC is just a scam

Bright Young Things™️ come up with an idea for CC. Venture capitalists and governments throw money at them. They mess around for a bit and say "Sorry it doesn't work at scale" and bugger off with the money.

Venture capitalists don't care about losing the money. It's greenwashing for them. Governments don't care either as they can say "We can burn all the carbon we like as in the future CC will suck all the CO2 out of the atmosphere".

rinse and repeat, always repeat.

Will engineered carbon removal solve the climate crisis?

Carbon Capture is a scam.

Bright Young Things™ come up with an idea for CC. Venture Capitalists give them around 10 million dollars. They fuck around for a bit then say "Oh it doesn't work at scale" and bugger off with the money.

The venture capitalists don't care, often they are funded by energy companies too. Its greenwashing for them. Governments don't care either as they can say "In the future this magic technology will mean we can lock all that CO2 away for ever".

Rinse and repeat... always repeat.
