The thing I'd like to understand about carbon capture is that, I would assume that once the process is scaled and costs come down that most of the cost would come from the energy to run the process.
But then, of course, the energy to run that process needs to come from a renewable, non-carbon emitting source, or else the whole thing is moot. So my question is that if we had all this renewable energy to run carbon capture systems, wouldn't it just make more sense to have this renewable energy put to use to offset fossil fuels in the first place?
