Carbon capture technology is often praised as a key solution to climate change, but I'm skeptical about its real impact—last year, the world's largest facility captured less than 0.1% of annual global emissions, and the energy cost is immense. I've followed climate tech investments for a while, and it feels like we're betting on an expensive Band-Aid while ignoring cheaper, proven cuts like reducing fossil fuel use. Can we truly rely on this to save us, or is it just a distraction from harder choices?
