It is already doubtful that enough of this can be built to meet the needs of optimistic emission reduction scenarios. Thinking you could "do business as usual" and compensate that with carbon removal tech is about as plausible as colonizing mars as an alternative to earth. There's been a recent study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-10842-5 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-10842-5 Like, even matching what the optimistic climate models require (that all depend on rapid emission reductions) requires "more than half of today's energy production".
