So far DACC is a scam. The energy costs to capture carbon have always proven near as high or higher than the energy gained from burning fossil fuels. It's always been unviable and treating any of it as anything but research projects is 100% bs.
Fossil fuel companies have vested interests in perpetuating the myth that we can clean up our mess after the fact. Think about how insane this proposition is! How can a world that has to drastically reconfigure itself to run on a renewables eroei of roughly 3 to 1, find the surplus energy to recapture capture carbon when the 100:1 eroei of fossil fuels are no longer available? The superorganism known as human civilization won't have the surplus energy to handle its own metabolic needs and recapture carbon.
A surface gusher of light sweet crude used to give 100:1. The last 30 years have seen eroei decline from 30-1 to 18-1 today as an average with tight oil going as low as 5-1.
This article is false hope. Sickly sweet paliative medicine given to terminal patients. There there dear. Your suffering will soon be over and everything will be beautiful again in the afterlife.
In theory you could run it on excess solar and turn it off the rest of the time, but of course if you're running it only part of the time it'll take you longer to capture CO2, and not every process can actually be easily turned off and on.
That's just using solar power with extra steps.
The extra step of cleaning up CO2 emissions from the past is a rather useful one
I don't disagree, but it is magnitudes of order less effective than reducing pur current spew of greenhouse gasses and only deals with one specific GHG (for example, does nothing for methane release)
