I didn't read the article but I did scan it and I saw this...
Oil and gas companies lobbied for the direct air capture money to be included in the law, arguing that the world could continue to burn fossil fuels if it had a way to clean up their planet-warming pollution.
yeah carbon capture is good as long its not literally powered by fossils, the real challenge is fighting for it to be sequestered, not 'neutrally' re-released, or to drive/excuse further expansion of fossil industries
but this initiative probably will be firmly on the side of doing those bad things, and probably hooked to a coal plant for maximum irony
