It's completely stupid, especially when carbon itself is untaxed. You're spending $1B to suck something out of a vast and difficult medium that's getting chucked up there willy nilly by anyone who wants to? Why not spend the money putting systems in place to block its initial exhaust? It would be far more cost effective.
