Plants are not air Filters ..You don’t blow CO2 in from one side and expect cool(!?) oxygen to come out on the other side.

You know what annoys me to no end with all this green technology? It reminds me of all those assumptions about the future we had in the 60s. "Did you know that in the year 2000 we might be using solar powered cars that go at the speed of sound?"

This almost looks like an Onion article. Plus having them on the ground would be just as good as in the air.

Problems I foresee.First the roots, they go down multiple feet for support. The wind pushing on the trees will cause them to move and bend.Trees do not absorb enough pollution for 400 trees to clean up an entire power plants smell, toxins, and gases each day.You will have to get these trees from somewhere else and they cannot be setup until the trees have taken root or they could be pulled out.All the needles and leaves could be a fire hazard and would need to be cleaned.Also this is a gigantic sail…bad BAD Idea. Unless this was designed by a structural engineer who builds sky scrappers I feel this is not a viable solution. KEEP TRYING THOUGH!

This is a wonderful idea!!!Then, when they’re built, we can deforest them as well when it becomes more economical to "grow cattle" on them.
