The air is the most limited source of carbon we have. There is probably more of it in coal, and certainly more in fossil fuels.

But anyway, a huge part of the Earth's crust is composed of carbon-rich rocks. If we ever take the carbon from the air, it will be to regulate its amount. Taking it from rocks is much easier and requires a comparably tiny amount of infrastructure.
