I think yes, when combined with carbon capture and storage. The technology has worked for some time (both the capture and storage parts), some of the new direct air methods are hitting $100/MWh when paired with generation, bringing prices of gas + capture around the price of solar + storage. However, siting it is tricky since you need the right geology, and there have been some very expensive failures to deploy. Maybe it will have a niche role until we solve storage + transmission + demand management (as someone else pointed out).
