Can Transgenic Plants Clean Pollution?
http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Fighting_Pollution_The_Poplar_Way_T… I have some issues regarding this. One, that the trees being grown will die once this is done, and two, I have concerns about the pollutants absorbed being expired back into the environment or passed to natural trees and plants. However, I also think it is a unique way to clean up such sites that saves carbon in the long run. Of course, this method if determined to be feasible should not excuse such pollution from being continued or get any company off the hook for the pollution they have already caused.
