> $53M for 1K tons of capacity

Nothing says the company is spending all their money on this facility, and I massively doubt the second and third such facility would cost anywhere near the same amount.

Also there's no need to finance, just cap annual builds at N/20 per year.

> exactly my point.

Huh? I thought you were arguing capture needs too much power, and what I was saying was that capture does not need too much power.

If you're suggesting replacing most of our existing electrical production, I agree, but capture would still be useful.

I suggest that capture is a bullshit idea and this company is a bullshit company. We don't need capture, we need carbon-free renewable electricity and stuff powered by that electricity and batteries to store it. That's all solved, scaled, and economics is there. Everything else is just a detestable way to siphon public money.
