Unfortunately it consumes a tree, which takes a while to replace. Better to be able to build a facility that can produce what you need on a continuous basis.

Interestingly I had to reword my comment (plant->facility and evergreen-> continuous) to avoid looking like I was trying to pun. Natural metaphors are a deep part of our thinking about the world.

Yeah see that's the wrong thinking of us humans. The best systems are those established by nature. Remove and bind CO2...yes trees and algae and shellfish have some million years of training in that.

Lets see this at scale..you need so many solar-panels that you already wasted mw's of energy, just to waste that energy for a process nature is already much better.

It just to make stocks and money...not to safe the climate, well maybe it's meant to make vodka in space-stations, then i am ok with it.


Bamboo seems like an intriguing alternative to trees.
