There's literally natural gas plants that limit 99% of carbon and methane from going up in the air that cost a fraction of what these things cost.

This is nonsense. It's true that gas plants "stop" 99% of methane from being emitted, but emissions of 1% would be horrible, so that is a meaninglessly low bar.

Gas plants limiting CO2 emissions is a bizarre point, because CO2 emissions don't happen very much at gas plants; they happen where the gas is burned - at the customers of the gas plants. The only sizeable CO2 emitters I can think of at most gas plants is in the reboilers of glycol and amine regenerators. And it is an extremely rare gas plant that does anything to limit them.
