It’s not about the energy cost, it’s about the financial cost. If the system incentivizes proper and effective use of carbon capture, then there’d be a difference. Carrot, stick, both, it’ll be better than the half-assed token measures we have currently.
Carbon capture will only work if the capturing and storage of said carbon uses less energy than it took to release said carbon.
So far I have yet to see that.
