Direct air capture is way more practical than any kind of regular carbon capture. And direct air capture is never going to be a major part of de-carbonizing, even if it will be essential for total success.

There has literally never been a commercially-successful carbon capture implementation. Well over a billion sunk into this technology with no useful results. Just total bamboozles like Petra Nova.

We have to leave fossil fuels in the ground, first and foremost. As many of them as possible, as soon as possible. We can save all this technowizard nonsense for when we're trying to get rid of the final tons. We won't need to be pissing money at "clean coal" or any such nonsense once the coal plants are all shut down. Bonus points, even the free market wants to shut them down because they're not economical.
