Reply to comment by -Merlin- in Researchers unveil the least costly carbon capture system to date - down to $39 per metric ton. by PNNL

It doesn't matter as long as we still emmit CO2 at a large scale. This would be great for use after we stopped emmisions.

Agreed; this is how I view carbon capture technology. We need to learn to scale it now so that by the time we are at or near 100% renewables we can begin to remove the massive amounts of carbon we have pumped into the atmosphere over the past x many centuries.

No time like the present to start building it out while we work on cutting emmissions, right?

Eh not really if it significantly increases emmisions while building. Once we get emmisionless vehicles and equipment sure. Until then we are just making the problem worse.
