You don't even need molten salt reactors for this tech. You could use what the Navy uses for flat tops. They've got ships that could be obtained for a cheap price, and it would have plenty of space to install a crap load of equipment.
It was at technology readiness level (TRL)- 6 in 2016. Why not further along today? Because something is wrong, obviously. I am more inclined to think that the techonology barrier is NOT the problem.
A nuclear powered flat top can produce a LOT of energy. Just sayin'.

Molten salt reactor technology can enable this:
TRL of six:
It is possible because there is far more carbon dioxide in water than in the air:
The process does not require electrolysis in order to obtain hydrogen:
Keep in mind that molten salt technology is nearly 50 years old. We could have had this decades ago. Why don't we? Because something is wrong.
