Another great tech will be buried.
At least with this process you are not "adding" to pollution, unlike gasoline created with oil which is effectively taking carbon (oil) from the ground and adding it to our eco system. This carbon from the ground has accumulated over millions of years and we are letting it all out in one big go. Gasoline from the air is about taking carbon out and then returning the same amount. This solves so many problems and it is a terrible shame that the technology is not priority.
It's all about big oil and a small few's strangle hold over the world's energy resources. This control of energy means control over us as a society - this is why you never see these alternate energy solutions come to pass. Our overlords just don't care to relinquish their control.
