It's a racket, you can't run these without costing tax payers trillions. The problem is finding solutions that don't provide a solution to the original problem

[kaiserli]

How do they power the vacuum? Hopefully they are using renewable…

I think that education in Japan has really fallen if you look at it like this.

[rrvillareal]

isn't there a cheaper way of doing this. like planting trees

[jasoncrelopia]

How much power is needed to do this? 2 CO2 atoms for each CO2 captured? lol

[weareparamore]

That is BS, this is just an excuse for top emitters to emit more

[Peter-clcd]

Fooling some investors with a useless technology that won't change anything. All the energy that would be needed for this process. This is Green Washing of some big companies.

[tomshin]

why are they doing this is pristine out door areas? why not downtown NY

[coldfire]

Why bother?? Can it filter nuclear radiation?

[mcbowler]

Don’t steal plant food from plants! My food needs to eat plants.

[carlfaucher]

Transitioning to renewables along won't be enough. We'll have to remove CO2 too. Nuclear powered DAC (Direct Air Capture) coming soon to a country near you.

[maximusprimus]

Why not just plant more trees instead of building these plants that are probably creating more pollution/waste?

[yehimstone]

That's too bad, my plants really love CO2.

[shanemcdaniel]

Also thats going to create even better climate control technology not counting millions of jobs..this is the upmost lifting news i have heard in awhile.

[maxdugout]

If this is not a sham, I don’t what is.

[learn]

someone who get paid by being employed in the project saying its imperative you dont say.

[nickferro]

Ok so y can’t we stick this on a muffler?

[Rainingdogsandcats]

Maybe putting filters on smoke stacks or putting filters like this directly next to them and make them pay is smarter. You make us all pay for their mess and mostly tax us to talk about it. It's asinine.

[billboyd]

How much co2 was required to build this machine? People need to be more conscious of the way we live… all of us. Politicians need to set the example abs we all need to be more responsible. No more big cars, big houses, yachts, and we need to get over the false perception of nuclear power.

[MDF]

If only Dinosaurs had these things, they should have been saved lol
