industrial carbon-sucking schemes are like magic battery technological advances ... always just around the corner ... always soon-to-be economical ...

case in point here: at $200/ton how many billons of trillions of dollars will it take to “capture” enough CO2 to reduce the atmospheric levels by even 1 part per million, and what is the carbon cost to build enough “capture” factories to do that?

Not really. The REAL question is "What do you do with it once you capture it?" The process leaves you with a HUGE volume of CO2 gas. Now what? It ALWAYS takes more energy to turn it into fuel than you get out of burning the fuel.
