The problem is, spilling water on the floor is how the richest entities in the world keep their power, so that’s kind of out of the question. I don’t see a way to overthrow all the oil money. So either we sit there and hurumpf that the world is shit and unfair, or do something to make it ever so slightly better.

Water is wet, researchers find
Like basic thermodynamics can tell you that carbon capture sucks efficiency wise. It’s more work to pour water on the floor and then mopping it up and putting a back into the bottle, than just not not spilling the water in the first place.

And even more basic: renewables are consistently cheaper.
It’s not really rocket science that adding a costly postprocessing to an already more expensive solution makes that solution even morer expensiver.
