Direct air capture is a scam. It should be called direct funding capture.

I've never heard of electrifying sea water. That sounds very interesting. I'll have to read up on that.

I always marvel at how these save the planet strategies never address the primary problem - too damn many people on the planet and the number is growing exponentially; Malthus was right.
