I can't wait until they makes these no cost, low-maintenance, and self-replacing. Oh man, just think of how easy it would be to fix our climate issues!

Unless it uses hydro, nuclear, wind, solar

And the amount of CO2 it captures is miniscule in comparison.

This technology doesn't work. It is nothing more than a way to avoid taking the steps necessary to prevent catastrophic climate change for future and even our generations.

There is no stopping it. We will evolve through crisis, if we survive to evolve at all, which sounds silly now but won't by the end of the century, or sooner, if we continue on the path we are on.

Which Trump has canceled many projects of those.

It still uses the energy, and most of the time it just makes more sense to directly swap whatever you're running to one of those cleaner energy sources instead of using more energy than it would take to run the machine that releases carbon to undo that.

How about we start with using those sources instead of generating co2 we have to clean. Tht would be more effective.
