The other thing many people miss is that the article is ONLY about these specific DoE DAC hubs but other private ones already exist. ExxonMobile is running one in Wyoming.

Tallgrass Energy is building another one in Wyoming.

CarbonCapture is building another one (Project Bison) in Wyoming that will be entirely solar and wind powered.

Those are just the private ones I'm aware of in my own state, which has a climate commitment of being carbon negative by 2050.
