Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. Wind replacing fossil fuels always reduces air pollution and never has a capture equipment cost. Only when wind replaced coal itself did social costs decrease.
