I can't wait until they makes these no cost, low-maintenance, and self-replacing. Oh man, just think of how easy it would be to fix our climate issues!

So what if it required 1 watt?

You have to do actual math to determine if it’s worth it, not just write it off because it requires energy.

The more you spend, the more you save!

The math has been done to death. CO2 capture requires energy input and doesn’t yield any. This is basic stuff.

Yes, but just because you are spending energy doesn’t mean you are emitting a lot of carbon. Especially if your power comes from nuclear.
