“Direct air capture is expensive, unproven, and will ultimately make almost no difference in reducing climate pollution… Capturing just a quarter of our annual carbon emissions would require all of the power currently generated in the country.”

If the viability of a project is predicated on another breakthrough or scale up, that shouldn’t discourage doing research on it.
Research costs time, money and effort. If not carbon capture, any spare USD floating around is going to end up into the military industrial complex, banks, oil and pharma anyway.

Ok, so the fossil fuel extraction licenses are conditional on privately financed carbon capture systems operating which exceed the emissions from using whatever is extracted?
Not so fun when the mythical technology actually has to work, is it?
