I mean, technology tends to get smaller, cheaper and more efficient over time.

It's like objecting to the first computers because they took up a giant room, were heavy and could only do 3rd grade math. They'll never go anywhere.

Conversion of atmospheric CO2 to liquid fuels isn’t ever going to get more efficient. It’s limited by physics. And they claimed future capacity of that plant already bakes in substantially optimistic assumptions about benefits of scale. Its current capacity is 100x smaller.
