The problem is that if you want to turn CO2 into solid carbon that can

That's true. But cars burn gasoline because it's a very efficient
portable
source of energy. Carbon capture plants don't have to be portable. So
they can use nuclear power from the grid. Only if the carbon capture
plants had to run on fossil fuels would this make things worse
instead of better.
