Carbon capture doesn't work, nor is it likely to.

It does work when its captured as limestone etc,
the problem is that its not economic to do that.

The beauty of transferring CO2 production to a central point is that
it can then be used for carbon trading. As I see it, if the ruler of
some benighted (but large) third world country is willing to trade his
citizens' access to electricity for cash in a Swiss bank account we can
'buy' that country's allocation of CO2 production and take our CO2
production off the books. It no longer counts against us! All for money.
