The cost of construction of CCS facilities and the «energy penalty» would almost double the costs of electricity generation from coal, making it economically unviable.

There is an energy penalty associated with the conversion of CO2 to other substances.

Results showed that, when compared to typically vented attics with the air distribution ducts present, the sealed «cathedralized» attic (i.e. sealed attic with the air barrier and thermal barrier [insulation] at the sloped roof plane) can be a good way to minimize or eliminate attic moisture accumulation potential in hot - humid climates, without an energy penalty.

Simply put, it is completely unproven, imposes an energy penalty, and is very expensive.
