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?

Answer 1

because carbon sequestration is extremely cost prohibitive. Everyone says they want to save the environment all the way up until they see the price tag and the things it requires giving up.
