A comment on The dream of carbon air capture edges toward reality. Parent comment
The facility in this article claims it will be able to pull 4000 metric tons of CO2 from the air each year.
Per the EPA, the average US driver produces 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year. Let's call it 4 for ease of calculation. That's 1000 cars negated.
How much does this facility cost to operate and what is the cost of depreciation each year? $3.6M sounds impossibly low.
