The perennial questions of "is it efficient outside of a lab setting?" and "does it scale?" obviously apply, but it is important to note that one of the reaction products is a potassium salt of carbon dioxide whose chemical formula is KOOCH.

    Well good thing fusion is less than a decade away /s.

    I still see there being some value as a way of smoothing demand for renewables, since storage continues to be a challenge. Excess output needs to go somewhere, so even a minor contribution is still something. Given the magnitude of the problem there isn't going to be a single solution, it's going to take a combination of consumption management, alternative fuels, afforestation and ecosystem restoration, sequestration, etc.
