Why don't we just build DAC plants in the middle of nowhere, where energy is super cheap? Like we can use geothermal in places were no human civilization exist

Why don't we just build DAC plants in the middle of nowhere, where energy is super cheap?
Like we can use geothermal in places were no human civilization exists, or solar in otherwise barren desserts. Yes it is still going to be expensive, but DAC can be done anywhere on the globe, so why not take advantage of this and seek places with very cheap energy sources?
