Plain-English Summary
The federal government would be required to develop and deploy technology that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air or ocean to help reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This would involve the Department of Energy researching, building, and operating facilities that remove CO2 through direct air capture or similar methods, affecting energy policy and potentially creating new jobs in clean technology sectors. The goal is to address climate change by removing carbon that's already in the environment rather than just preventing new emissions.
