Carbon capture is literally just delaying our transition to renewables, the more electricity we waste on carbon capture the longer it will take to eliminate fossil fuels. It’s a massive net loss, maybe there’s a place for carbon capture in the future when we have an excess of renewable energy, but it’s hurting our planet in its current state.

There are still countries building new coal plants, why should we be wasting renewable energy to take 1 ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere, when we could use it to prevent 265 tons from ever being emitted?
