To cover base load nuclear, geothermal and hydroelectric are the only options.
All the hydrothermal that can create super heated steam is already tapped and the US is already the number 1 geothermal power producer.
All the hydroelectric that can be built in the US with out flooding a city has been built.
The nimby useful idiots already blocked the first commercially viable carbon sequestration in the US because a pipe line had to be built to transport the liquefied CO2.
So carbon capture must not be that important.
