Would be a good franchise.

People probably prefer if CO2 was removed in their cities and not at some location kilometers away.

What for? the harm done by excess CO2 is global, not local.

CO2 is diffused across the whole world in a matter of months. Its climate-changing effect lasts much longer than that - decades to centuries.

You need clean, low-cost electricity near your city to support this.

And to scale to a impactful level this will also require a very large amount of new, clean electricity generation...

Sure thing.

But how big is the benefit otherwise?
