„There are many different strategies for capturing carbon, but regardless of which we adopt, all capture methods will require carbon storage capacity. Developing sufficient storage capacity will require massive investment. If left to the market, we should expect that any development would be haphazard—and would neither necessarily address climate change nor promote any other moral values. If not leaving it to market forces, developing this capacity will require spending public resources. But we should be intentional about which values this spending reflects—in short, we should take this to be a question worthy of moral deliberation.“
