    Obviously not. Carbon capture uses more energy than not burning hydrocarbons and it can leak if anything goes wrong geologically. Turns out there’s a nice stable form that carbon can be kept in that won’t leak out or enter the atmosphere or break down into a greenhouse gas. It’s complex liquid and solid hydrocarbons. Making those is energy intensive which is why these people want to burn them for fuel
