Excess CO2 is wreaking havoc on our planet and quickly getting worse. Why wouldn't we try to pull it out of the atmosphere?
Because no CCS method has worked. Besides the sea equilibrium means CO2 will be favoured and replaced.
There are no free rides on the thermodynamic train, this energy will probably come from fossil fuels depending on where in the US. I'm not against the idea, but it's been a false promise of hope for a decade or so.
