Wouldn't it be simpler to plant trees instead of using energy to capture carbon? To absorb 1000 tons of CO2 a year, you'd need roughly 200 acres of land, which seems more feasible.
if carbon capture is undertaken seriously enough to just break even at current burn, the storage alone will be the largest industrial project in human history.
if we somehow stop burning carbon tomorrow we will still see catastrophic change as the carbon we've already emitted takes effect.
the beginning of any solution is to stop, but nobody can afford to stop.
