The problem is not trying it, the problem is painting it as a solution for continued fossil fuel exploration. If we could agree that carbon capture is a small part of the solution, direct air capture an even smaller part, and the primary goal needs to be phasing down fossil fuel production, that would be fine. But there is no such agreement, and many major players in both the CCS and DAC space explicitly advertise their tech as a replacement for fossil fuel phasedown, not as an addition.
