I keep remembering things like this... but there was a solar wind generator somewhere or another (maybe it was never built, i dont know, i read about it in a magazine in the dentists office) the design was a tower built on a massive greenhouse that was open at the bottom so solar energy could heat the air inside and drive a turbine in the upper tower. what would the implications be if this was built over a body of water and allowed to create a vapor plume into the atmosphere? would it increase cloud cover and slow insolation, or would it just increase the amount of heat trapped by the atmosphere? what about building it over a forest? the airflow over the trees would deposit CO2... there would have to be some kind of canal system for irrigation, but it could make a fantastic atrium/solar generator/CO2 scrubber.
