I think we should still fund it, but it's probably a huge boondoggle. The issue is more that by placing so much emphasis on carbon capture, we are ignoring things that work. So, it is similar to plastic recycling. Some plastics can be recycled, and at the very least they don't always end up in a landfill...but the whole idea of recycling lets a bunch of companies responsible for the big mess off the hook. Carbon capture, and carbon offsets all do this. That's my main issue with it.
