I didn't read the article but I did scan it and I saw this...
Oil and gas companies lobbied for the direct air capture money to be included in the law, arguing that the world could continue to burn fossil fuels if it had a way to clean up their planet-warming pollution.
externalization of abstract/hidden costs is a major problem with the liberal logic of private property. the value contained within a unit of oil isn't just the labor power used to extract/refine it, but also the labor power necessary to deal with the consequences of its use. the consequences are experienced on a social level but ownership and profit on a personal/corporate level.
