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!

Only if we would have natural solution to this problem.... Let's fuck up the planet even more by producing more shit. How about planting trees and stopping the deforestation.
Also this plant are (with the latest technology) really less efficient than trees, like 60-70% less efficient IIRC.
Yeah, and the Wright Flyer could only travel like 30 yards. A 10 megabyte hard drive used to fill an entire room. You can't build a better machine without building the worse ones first
The goal of this plant isn’t to be a solution : it’s greenwashing. It’s making people believe that capitalism have an answer to climate change
I never said anything about capitalism. Do you think socialists and communists don't burn fossil fuels? Do you think tree planting initiatives aren't greenwashing? Technological progress continues regardless of economic systems, and this is an early step in carbon sequestration technology. A technology we will still need after we abolish fossil fuels and capitalism, because we have put more carbon into the carbon cycle than the carbon cycle evolved to handle.
