Default I'd like to see the calculations

So what if it uses water? That means the 2H combine with about 2 carbon
(for an average hydrocarbon I think) so for every water molecule
actually used (not run-off) we take 2 CO2 out of the air, and add about
2.5 O2.

Do people who want to remove CO2 from the air, with all their left-wing
superior grasp of science, think they can do that without balancing it
in at least several other changes?
