A policy framework may be needed to do so.

The problem is that capturing carbon coming out of coal plants is expensive — 1 to 5 cents per kilowatt-hour more expensive — and at this point, experimental, too.

The technical and financial viability of carbon remediation has yet to move beyond the research phase. While estimates vary wildly, current carbon capture and storage technologies could double the costs of the very energy it’s cleaning. [...]

Of course, wind is intermittent and so less convenient than coal.

It would also seem that carbon capture would get more expensive over time, as new places to store the carbon would have to be founded and exploited.
