So I have limitations with videos, but the argument that capturing carbon is costs more energy than it took to put into the air is valid as long as we're still dumping carbon in the air. But, we have to stop putting carbon in the air and we have to start taking it out again.
completely agree with you, but until the whole world stops dumping it in the air (classic) carbon capture is worthless. I'm interested if this thing of making butter can be worth it, because you're not just removing CO2, you are also making something that would have required farming a cow, which is much more resource intensive.
I guess we'll need some studies done on the topic
