We could suck pollution out of the air. Why not? Why would it not work? We could have what we call a pollution-control plant, its smokestack stretching high into the air not to emit pollution, but to suck it in and bring it down below where it would be cleaned out.
The plant would be powered by clean energy, so it itself would not be causing pollution.
Perhaps, a plant a couple miles away that blew air, directing the airwaves towards the anti-pollution plant.
We have plants that clean our water supply, literally taking feces and all kinds of foul things out of our water. Why would this principle of cleaning not be possible? While I don't know that it surely is possible, I certainly believe it is worth investigating to see if it is possible.
Would all the carbon monoxide need to be converted to oxygen? Can that not be done artificially, but only by photosynthesis? Would we be able to have enough green plants down beneath to pull the trick? How would we remove the methane from the air? Good questions, all. My bet is that these questions could be answered. Our air could, at least to a degree, be cleaned by a pollution-control plant, or, if you prefer, call it a pollution-reduction plant.
