Re:A CO2 capture solvent with exceptionally low total costs ... by ehnto on Sunday April 04, 2021 @10:03AM (#26689460)
It doesn't have to be competitive, it has to be regulated. If coal plants and CO2 emissions heavy processes aren't viable once the cost of sequestering the carbon is charged to the people emitting the carbon, then they should give way to processes that do (or be expensive enough that they're only used when necessary)

We can't solve the crisis by trying our best not to disturb the status quo, things are going to get shaken up a bit.

Yes, though even now it's already possible to price CO2, yet somehow it doesn't factor in significantly in the price of goods produced with coal heavy electricity.
