    The scale needed is ridiculous. You’d probably need one of those plants for every 1000 people on the planet.

    I’d much rather capture CO2 from waste incinerators or (bio) gas plants or any other “residual” CO2 emitter that’s not burning fossil fuels. At least it’s pretty simple to filter out of their exhausts.

    And I’m 95% sure these plants will be used as an argument for running fossil fuel devices longer. It’s “not so bad” after all.

      Yeah its critical to cut emissions. At the same time I’m excited to see this field growing. It’s another tool.
