> Making fuel for those by taking CO2 out of the atmosphere is a double win.
It's just a single win because the CO2 is going right back into the atmosphere as the fuel is used (carbon neutral, not carbon negative). Still, a win is better than the loss that extracted fuels amount to.
I agree but you could still argue that any economic incentive to develop better carbon capture is another win. If captured fuel gets lots of use, maybe it will become cheap enough to manufacture that we will do so purely for environmental reasons.
