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, but companies should be taxed for their carbon emissions and this will incentivize them to invest in carbon capture technologies and other ways of reducing pollution
@SenBR2003 3wks3W
Yes, but only in tandem with supporting renewable energy production.
@GavinKuebler3wks3W
No, they are a largely inefficient means of reducing carbon since they focus only on reversing environmental harm rather than reducing it and can be used to justify further carbon emissions.

No, but they should be eligible for R&D grants contingent on the US Government getting equity on any patents granted

We have many ways we create power in this country - so each method would capture and store CO2 in different ways. This question needs to be more specific.
That's a big problem I have with many college students who harp about climate change - they haven't done their homework so they talk in generalties. A lot of these folks - don't even know what is too much or the right amount of CO2.

The best way for government to combat climate change would be to lower taxes and end artificial barriers to entry that protect favored firms and stifle innovation. Doing so would allow the market to find solutions.
