Someone should tell that to the author of the article > A typical coal power plant emits a tonne of CO₂ for every 1,000 kWh of electricity it generates. Meanwhile, we learned that the energy needed to recapture 1 tonne of CO₂ from the air is at least 1,400 kWh. This means that recapturing the emissions of a coal power plant takes more energy than the coal plant produces! And those calculations are based on the much harder to filter concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. Anyway, CO2 isn't the only byproduct, nor is it the only source of entropy. So we aren't trying to reverse all of the entropy for free, just part of it.
