The most cost efficient way to do carbon capture is on the smoke stacks of coal power plants. Better than that is not burning the stuff in the first place. Both are way more efficient than these boondoggles trying to pull co2 out of the air where it exists at 400 ppm 0.04%. If we’re not doing the first two, why bother with the last?

There’s no logic in this.

I agree with you we’ll need to remove co2 eventually. But before we worry about that let’s focus editing on stopping making it worse. The payoff there is much higher!
