5. This is NOT ready-for-prime-time technology yet

If you read the article you'll see that this is only the front porch of a house that hasn't been built yet. There's no developed plan for what to do with the CO2 that is captured. In fact, the article is incredibly vague about what to do with stuff, other than put fizz in your sodas. Fizzy sodas just delay the release of the carbon you captured, the only savings is in the energy it currently takes to makes sodas fizzy. Not all that much to celebrate there.

When we have a financially viable technology for sequestering that carbon, one that scales, THEN we can pull that hope thang out for some fresh air. We're not there yet.
