For those who have watched the transition in energy over the past several decades, there is one technology that is considered a serious industry: carbon capture and storage. About a decade ago, it was still seen by many as the best hope for decarbonizing the world's energy systems. CCS was the "Google and Intel of the energy world," declared the Atlantic magazine in a 2010 cover story that predicted solar and wind power would never exceed 10 percent of the energy supply. In the following decade, it was renewables that boomed, while CCS went bankrupt.
