Carbon capture is doable (at a power station). Storage is the problem.

But anyway, reducing emissions by (say) 90% is still a win.

First of all only if you believe that CO2 is EVIL. All the evidence is
that a doubling of CO2 would increase food production, shrink deserts
and have **** all effect on global climate, although 1 °C would be nice
and give us more farmland.

Secondly no intermittent renewable source will achieve that or anything
like it. In fact intermittent renewable energy actually increases
emissions die to its massive energy footprint in manufacturing and
disposal and the fact that it has to be co fired sub optimally with
fossil fuel.

Renewable energy„¢ is an ArtStudents„¢ solution to an ArtStudents„¢ nonproblem.

If you want reliable cheap low pollution power, you build nuclear plants.

If you want to scam consumers and virtue signal your way to massive
taxpayer ripoffs, you build windmills
