I thought ages ago about a passive technology to use solar power to capture carbon dioxide and turn it into solid form.
I realised that I was trying to invent trees.
The problem is trees are such a blight on the landscape. Nobody wants trees popping up all over the place. Not in my backyard!
Imagine the dystopian future when huge areas of land are set aside and blanketed with trees in such density that you can't even see through them.
My ex, visiting Canada from Japan, once complained that there are too many trees.
Wow, and now look! There's trees everywhere. Good job. Welp, let's get some rakes and clean that stuff up.
