It actually says countries won't charge that much tax - which may ultimately come down to the same thing, given problems with Regulatory Capture.

But regardless, there's the way we would like things to be, and the way things are. The way things are right now, it will be extraordinarily difficult to get a regulatory environment in place where the worst carbon emitters will pay what is necessary for DAC systems to work. Which sucks.

But if technologies like this can sidestep the problem entirely by simply making carbon capture more affordable, then that's an absolute win.
