I always consider things like carbon-capture to be under the category of "We need to do all of the above". Capturing carbon at scale gives us more time to move to renewable energy, which is going to take longer than we have. So we need to do capture, and renewables, and reducing overall energy, and whatever else we can think of. If we had started moving to renewables and electrifying everything 30 years ago, carbon capture wouldn't be needed. But it is needed now.
The thing I don't like is that people keep acting like we're going to avoid a climate catastrophe. We're not; it's already too late. We might as well get used to the idea that things are going to get really, really bad in the next few decades. The only way to avoid it is to completely stop the things we're doing right now, all over the planet, and that simply isn't going to happen.
