Comment Comment by codecamper Have you heard about George Church's idea?He says it's possible to modify the dna of cyanobacteria so that they become immune to their natural predator: the cyanophage.Apparently cyanobacteria consume an incredible amount of CO2 every year, but then right away release it again after the cyanophage kills them.Seems like a potentially workable idea, but I have not heard him give the details anywhere.He is at MIT & so are some of you guys... go talk with him! Maybe it could be used inside your towers as a way to more efficiently capture the co2?Thanks for doing what you all are doing btw. We desperately need a solution. parent codecamper 5 years ago
