    Yeah, put these in Iceland, Scotland or the Sahara where there’s virtually unlimited zero-carbon power available and they make a world of sense.

      Carbon dioxide needs to be captured were there is a lot of carbon dioxide in the air. So especially around cities with lots of car traffic, or around fossil fuel power plants…

      So… It would be better to stop car traffic and fossil fuel power plants first, before doing carbon capture. And the purpose of that should be, making the air cleaner. And putting that carbon back into a less environmental damaging state.

        They could route emissions through a system like this directly from smoke stacks, capturing the carbon before it even reaches the atmosphere

      I didn’t know the machine needed no maintenance and that its own life cycle was carbon neutral. TIL/s
