Study finds renewables are more efficient than carbon capture ( #sustainability ):
“You can have the most efficient way of removing CO2 from the air, but that does not change the efficiency of combustion. You’re keeping that inefficient energy infrastructure the same,” said Jacobson. “It’s much cheaper and more efficient just to replace the fossil source with electricity or heat provided by a renewable source.”
