Indeed, automation is not just about eliminating the payment of wages, it's also about removing the need to burn dinosaurs shuttling hoominz around.

How 'bout if workers at carbon capture facilities are prohibited from driving fossil-fueled cars to work. Maybe they could get e-bikes as a job perk ? It would be on-brand.

Or electric shuttle that would pick them up. And/or company could build cheap/free housing for employees nearby. So many good logical solutions!
How is that logical? You want a nascent carbon capture startup to also build employee housing and/or operate a bus line. That sounds like a great waste of money and resources.

They are working on one part of the problem, carbon capture. Many others are working on the problems of electric vehicles and green electricity production.

Maybe California is running the bus line that services hundreds of these factories along Highway 58.
