Why can/do we not capture the released CO2 directly at the source?

Question

So why can/do we not capture the CO2 directly where it is released? For example for cars directly at the exhaust? Or for coal power plants at the chillen? Wouldn‘t it be much more effective to capture the CO2 there instead of trying to filter it out of the atmosphere?

Thunderf00t recently did a good explainer on this. Don’t love all of his content but the science stuff is spot on (PhD research scientist, so the science is accurate)
