I can't wait until they makes these no cost, low-maintenance, and self-replacing. Oh man, just think of how easy it would be to fix our climate issues!

Don't they sell the CO2 to fracking companies?

Now reunite Mythbusters and stack like 30 seconds of freeway traffic worth of cars facing it. Go.

Nice, now the techbros can finally achieve their lifelong dream of paving all the forests and selling tickets for the tree museums.

After that they can plant trees on Mars.

everyone seems to be jumping on how shit of an idea this is and that we just need more trees, but the point of this is that they can directly sequester the carbon back into the ground. Yes you can plant a lot of trees but when those trees die and rot away the carbon just ends up straight back in the atmosphere, you need to actually bury it to stop it re-entering the atmosphere again.

They put all the trees in a tree museum.

I would probably name it T.R.E.E. Terrestrial Regeneration and Ecosystem Engine.

If they can make like the size of 100-floor building, maybe there will be some differences rather than using trees that only occupied horizontal plane.

What would work better... Trees? Or a machine consisting of rare earth metals which need to be mined and processed and are only partially recyclable... A tree outlives a machine. Replacing old machines with new ones is good for the economy, so yeah, let's do that! Wait, what was our goal exactly?

If trees did their god damned jobs, we wouldn't have this problem in the first place
