If CO2 was valuable, would we still emit it into the atmosphere?

Here's a post about sustainable energy that you probably weren't expecting.

A lot has been said about the evils of spewing CO2 into the atmosphere. A lot has also been said about the potential for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). In case you're unaware, the idea behind CCS is that we can capture the CO2 as fossil fuels are being burned and inject the CO2 back into the ground where it had been safety stored for millions of years.

But what if we could capture CO2 from fossil fuels and, rather than trying to bury it back into the ground, create valuable products? In doing so, CO2 capture wouldn't become a cost burden, but a profitable revenue stream.
