Yeah the plastic from air thing doesn't do so well. Its like sgrlethargics BS it immediately falls apart a soon as it come into contact with any level of logical scrutiny.
Now it might work if the CO2 plant was right next to a large CO2 emitter like a cement factory or an iron smelting furnace. If the CO2 plant could be powered by nuclear fusion there wouldn't be any natural gas or coal fired power plants at that point.
That's the problem I see with CO2 scrubbing. If you have enough excess, cheap, non-CO2 emitting power, then you've already solved the underlying problem of CO2 buildup.
