I'm surprised this got so many upvotes, a lot of it is factually incorrect! For instance many grids worldwide are over 50% renewables. You can scrub carbon with a net carbon loss if you use solar powered to do it.

There's also no reason that capturing the carbon would cost all the energy that was released by burning it (you don't have to make it into the same fuel molecule).

Honestly this sounds like climate change denier shit, "it's too late there's nothing we can do, buy more oil.".

On the positive side, I agree that nuclear is great!
