That's why you power the thing with renewables. We have to switch to green energy; that's a given. But the point of DAC is we've already so thoroughly fucked up the environment that we have to also go further and start cleaning up our mess. Just switching to all solar power generation and electric cars would eventually work, but it would take hundreds of years at least for atmospheric CO2 to go back to normal.
