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.

I don't think it should be Canada's responsibility alone. It is important however, to reduce emissions globally.
@B27F3VN1mo1MO
tax carbon emissions and then use THAT money to subsidize the carbon capture techonology companies
@B24KB2Q2mos2MO
The government should tax carbon emissions, and plant more trees to capture carbon
@9TYSP555mos5MO
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.
@9TLF4ZN5mos5MO
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?
@9NR37C68mos8MO
Yes but this shouldn't be an alternative to net zero
@9N8VP998mos8MO
No, instead provide subsidies to companies, researchers, or organizations developing proven solutions such as renewables and nuclear
@9MXJRLQ9mos9MO
No, carbon capture is a band-aid solution for a rapidly escalating global crisis. Startups in this industry would only waste tax-payer money that would be better spent actively fighting climate change and reducing overall carbon output.
