3. even carbon capture...

...is corporate welfare once removed.

the fossil-profiteers will continue to drill and mine. and the tax payers will fund both the carbon capture efforts and any "Green tax credits" gifted to the fossil-profiteers for programs they will never complete. So in the end the tax payers (us) pay for both.

The fossil-profiteers should carry the entire burden of carbon capture. and their profits should be regulated along with consumer pricing. That would go a long way toward funding carbon reduction.

Now for a "Reality Check"!...

Every fossil-profiteer had evolved themselves into multi-national conglomerates. They will move and shift across borders and governments as they wish. So addressing this issue will take a consortium of governments and that will never happen since their lobbyists are deeply embedded in nearly every government. We are doomed.

The fossilists will be laughing all the way the burning bank with all the leftover worthless money while our bones are left bleaching in the sun... (wow, that was me being insightful on a Saturday morning after a "fortified breakfast drink"!)
