    Cool idea but I wonder if in 100 years time, we have the opposite problem where corporations have built businesses around co2 removal and then they take too much.

      Doubt it. The major problem with these projects is they inadequately address the volume of carbon needed to make a meaningful impact, and then you have to come up with ways to store the carbon, which is equally problematic.

      This to me is a way to allow businesses to continue polluting at increasingly higher numbers because now we will ‘supposedly’ have technology that will just captures it so they can keep on being dirty, or possibly feel ok with being even dirtier than they used to be.
