Al Gore gave a TED talk about this just a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgZC6da4mco (What the Fossil Fuel Industry Doesn't Want You To Know)

He says the same thing, with receipts. All these carbon capture things are just fossil fuel companies extending their lifetime. They spend X million on "solving" carbon capture while spending 2*X million telling people how hard they're working on solving carbon capture.

This has been going on for decades with very very minimal progress.

But the fossil fuel companies like to tout how they will increase their carbon capture by 500% by 2030. They do not mention how that increase brings them from 0.01% of their total carbon output to 0.05% in 10 years.
