Right! Makes complete sense.. not. Last I checked, trees actually use co2 to live.. maybe there might be a way to miraculously deplete some of the excess.. just sayin!

Could you imagine planting so many fruit and nut trees that besides depleting CO2, we also reduce factory farming pollution due to an alternative abundant low cost for everyone source of essential proteins and fats ... Oh wait, distributed energy systems and anything "abundant low cost for everyone" would really upset the dominance hierarchy apple cart that one goes to Harvard to get a ride on top of ...

Yeah I can imagine it, it would be awesome. And you are correct, God forbid we upset the profit cart LOL And boo to factory farming and yeah to low cost, or perhaps free energy for all. :-D

I would say free energy for all would be a moral thing to do ... One of the reasons why Edison fired Tesla (damn those free thinkers!), from what I heard! The cost of maintaining the infrastructure would be borne from the taxes the collective takes ... Energy, Food, Medicine = inhumane profit motive. Big screen, smart phones, let the free market decide that stuff
