Right but the carbon capture uses more power to capture the co2 than the power plant uses to produce it. So if you replaced said power plant with renewable energy instead of using three times as much to capture the carbon from the original plant, it would net the same result.
Essentially carbon capture makes no sense until you’re at the point that carbon capture requires less energy to capture carbon than to produce it
