Reading your post Paul led me to think...aha! Do you suppose that
encouraging the
planting of Horse Chestnut trees, and any other type of applicable
similar types of plant
life, might not make some sense? Are there any faster growing types of
plants that
may suit the same purpose?
 
Granted that this is a "long term" sort of proposal and we here in the
USA are not known
for enacting long term plans in the interests of the "general good". We
are good
at "emergencies" though, i.e., WW II. Sometimes, we bring these
emergencies on ourselves.
 
Anyway, for those of you who are the "science experts", would this sort
of thinking be of
any value in the long term?
 
FWIW,
