My guess about "can be trapped/filtered" is in theory and possibly, with a lot of effort, in practice. But then of course -- how much easier it is (and how much more financially-incentivized it is) to let the pollution out rather than to filter it.

We need good incentives with a system that self-corrects; we need to stop playing whack-a-mole with easily-known-ahead-of-time problems and implement good systems.




Modern island nations (Japan being one of the first) have been doing clean incineration through Arc Reactors / Plasma gasification for energy for decades.
