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!

Explain that one to me. The tree is made of carbon, storing the tree somewhere outside the carbon cycle would reduce the amount of carbon. Why would they need to be fully mature?
Yeah, just cut it and store it when the growth brings diminishing returns
okay, they would need to fully mature to completely do the carbon capture job we want. point being, these carbon capture plantations are not protected in any way, so they are usually used for farmland after a few years and the trees are burned for fuel. even if they go into something ostensibly carbon neutral, say, housing, they’re usually cut down before having absorbed all the carbon they can.
and then before discussing the lost carbon capture potential that stems from creating big plots of monoculture…
