Sure, but we’re not against pollution scrubbers because it allows companies to keep making goods while removing the downside associated with them. If the bad thing is fully counteracted then I’m not mad about how much bad thing happens during their production process. We can’t just dislike it because scummy businesses like it, it deserves the research to see if it can help.
A full removal of fossil fuel based technology from every country in the world in time to prevent major global warming isn’t going to happen, and we’re already so far down the road that it would be very good if we had a way to reverse the flow of carbon into the air, in addition to other measures.
If it doesn’t end up working, it doesn’t end up working, but there is good reason to try.
