There is no such thing as future certainty (the acceptance of your own opinion as certainty is a quaint characteristic of Homo Sapiens exceptionalist thinking, which is probably the most predictable term in this equation).

CCS is an unproven technology which would require a huge investment of resources. An ineffectual gamble on CCS could bring on climate change even faster than if we spent those resources on proven strategies like efficiency, public transit, etc. An unacceptable risk, IMO.

Unlike CCS, nuclear power has already proven itself as the cleanest practical form of power generation.
