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.

No, the government should be the ones to develop carbon capture technologies, the government should invest in planting more trees to capture carbon as well, and also increase spending for renewable energy and reforestation
@B3YW9624mos4MO
No, there doesn’t need to be more carbon capture, there needs to be more carbon release. Carbon dioxide is plant food. We are carbon based life forms. Carbon is an essential ingredient of life on earth and it does not need to be taken out of the system, there needs to be more put into the system.
@B2J3VBF6mos6MO
I don't think it should be Canada's responsibility alone. It is important however, to reduce emissions globally.
@B27F3VN7mos7MO
tax carbon emissions and then use THAT money to subsidize the carbon capture techonology companies
@B24KB2Q7mos7MO
The government should tax carbon emissions, and plant more trees to capture carbon
@9TYSP5510mos10MO
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.
@9TLF4ZN10mos10MO
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?
@9NR37C61yr1Y
Yes but this shouldn't be an alternative to net zero
