Any far-away technology looks promising, as long as you don't think too much about who's going to pay for it. If you think it's hard to persuade people to drive electric vehicles, imagine telling them to pay up enough $$$ to buy several Teslas per person, so that the government can run a carbon-capture plant somewhere you've never been to. Because it's safe to assume that atmospheric carbon capture will remain more expensive than not emitting it in the first place. Maybe somebody will invent a unicorn technology next year, but I wouldn't bet my planet's future on that.
