Maintaining just the co2 station is probably inexpensive enough that people who care could scrounge for coins under their cushions and keep it alive. I'd happily chip in let's say $50/yr.

No need to scrounge! What if just a tiny bit of our taxes went to this?

I think taxes are simply one way for us all to collectively pay for important things like basic research, education, healthcare, and transportation.
