Direct air capture is a crucial bipartisan climate policy

As Congress considers bipartisan infrastructure legislation, it must not only deploy current technologies to boost our economy and productivity, but also lay the groundwork for future transportation and energy systems, including those that help address climate change. In fact, the bipartisan infrastructure agreement contains tens of billions for upgrading the U.S. electricity grid, so it can support more renewable energy, and funding for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. The agreement also includes billions more to help our citizens adapt to inevitable climate change and increase the resilience of our water, energy, housing and transportation systems.
But with Americans around the country facing unprecedented weather extremes that are already inflicting huge human costs on public safety and our economy, we must also invest in cutting- edge technologies that can help stave off the worst impacts of climate change, which are coming far more quickly than anticipated.
