You don't need permission to pay people to install wind turbines either. What you need is money. And if you have money, and a dollar spent installing wind turbines goes further than a dollar spent extracting CO2, why are you going to spend it on the inefficient thing?


A wind turbine is only profitable if you can physically connect it to someone who needs energy while the wind is blowing. That will get harder as more are built.


At which point the most economically efficient thing becomes to install batteries or hydro or nuclear. It still isn't carbon capture, is it?


Because at some point you have enough electricity.
