Rtx on/off meme template;
"Off" is a greyscale picture of metacat struggling with manual dependencies. Possibly combined with "Isn't there a better way?" from ye olde shopping channel ads.
"On" Is a HDR image of a smiling metacat having no such issues. In the background a rainbow can be seen over a flowery garden, in which people are holding hands with rabbits frolicking in the grass.
Yeah yeah, I know, I'll go to bed now...
As much as I agree with the implication that O&G companies latch on to every potential carbon sink as a way to greenwash themselves, carbon capture does have merits.
However, the only ones who can utilize carbon capture on a significant scale are the ones who produce a lot of carbon to begin with. Technology will have to advance drastically for it to be a carbon sink effective enough to offset emission to the point where emission cuts can be scaled down.
