We need to take CO2 out of the sky

While I believe this comment is well intended, I don't believe it addresses the parent's question. The extra resource they have is electrical power, not land. They are asking if there is a way to turn electrical power into carbon capture.

I also want to say that the planting trees method is a bit more nuanced than everyone makes it out to be. But don't trust me, let's ask someone who knows better: Forrest Fleischman[0][1]. I'm not saying "don't plant trees" (do) but that this is often everyone's go to response to CCS and it is a bit naive (as explained in the threads).

Also interesting that grassland can in some cases like California be better co2 sinks than trees. https://www.earth.com/news/trees-grass-carbon-sink/
