Why can’t we pull CO² from the air to carbonate beverages?

I just saw a post on Facebook about a supermarket whose shelves are low on pops and carbonated waters because of a CO² shortage. What’s to stop people from pulling CO² from the air and cleaning it of impurities to use it in the drink manufacturing process?

That’s absolutely possible, but it also takes so much power that more CO2 is produced generating the power you need than is captured.

It’s neither economically feasible nor helpful to the environment.
