I think this makes it really clear how most of the carbon capture proposals are aimed at influencing public opinion towards allowing ongoing extraction and burning, rather than actually doing much of anything.

    Kind of a headache to enforce this kind of stuff when natural resource production is essentially entirely private. Why would they make any of these costly changes when they can just bank that, at some point in the next 30 years or whatever, a republican will probably get elected who will free them of the obligation?

      It’s in Hampshire - ‘Republican’ means something entirely different here, and they already have a conservative government that likes to ignore pollution.
