I saw something like this, which piped exhaust from a generator thru a container of water and algae, with the idea to capture the co2, etc produced. Sure why not. I'll still prefer trees.
But I imagine that isn't anywhere near 100% efficient at capturing co2, so it'd still be emitting quite a bit. That does sound interesting though, I wonder how much tanking and piping it would need to get near 100% capture.
God, yes. Trees provide shade, transpirative cooling, homes for animals (birds, mammals, insects), and a particular natural beauty that tanks of algae do not.
