Why do you want to buy the land? Raise the money for seedling, get volunteers/robots to plant them. Pay people to maintain trees on land (which should require 0 effort). You can come up with some clever designs to make it a tourist att

Source? That sound very unlikely, unless we are talking about CO2 only. But then keep in mind the total CO2 emissions. Coal needs more workers, more machines and more transportation.

You could try getting a degree in one of the central European universities. Total cost for 3 years should be a fraction of what you need to pay in northern America. Getting a work permit is also ten times easer.

Allow people to invest 50% of the amount they paid in taxes in a given year. It can only be done via online platform that does basic due diligence. They can only raise half of the money from a regular user, the rest has to come from a profe

state-backed jobs with negative income tax/UBI/wealthfare. This is what gonna happen in Japan. USA? no idea, some kind of revolution. The biggest problem will be in countries like Bangladesh.

you don't want to remove 100% since you want to charge the batteries somewhere. Also it maybe more economical to keep 1km of power lines after the station when the train is accelerating - main power consumption.
