It takes a lot of energy to pull carbon out of the air. The energy needs to come from somewhere, but if it involves burning oil then it's going to create more mess than it cleans up.
Energy should come from solar and wind, I'd think.
These sorts of projects are typically funded by fossil fuels companies.
