This video[1] gives a good perspective on where carbon capture solution fits from an economic standpoint. The summary is that it’s highly infeasible now but if we got to a point where putting a price of $250/ton CO2 was possible then it could make sense.

Right now there’s a lot of other things we can do to make the biggest impact for a lot less cost but we need to be in the research phase for these kinds of things so that once they’re necessary/useful we’ll have the tech to do it.

It's challenging to discuss carbon capture because people can mean two different things.

The article is discussing decarbonizing emissions at the source, such as capturing the emissions of a factory smoke stack before it goes anywhere.

The video you've linked (at just a quick peek) discusses direct air capture — pulling CO2 out of the open air.
