Many people are switching from real plants to artificial for various reasons. These artificial plants & trees look more realistic and people often are deceived by its resemblance to the real ones. If you cannot still decide whether you must try it or not then, next time you go to the malls or restaurants, do not forget to check the plants and trees there.

If you can model photosynthesis, and if you can model systems that generate electricty from mechanical energy, in a nanostructure, then why not? Nature is very nano-like. How is it a hoax?

What a great idea! It would be really cool if they could make a version that also converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Oh wait... they're called TREES! I'm all for coming up with inventive ways to hide technology under our noses to produce the energy we need to live, but this looks like a step toward making nature obsolete and artificial. That's not a good thing, and it can't be ignored that making fake trees is heading in that direction. Wow! What a great idea!

I mean you look at all sorts of clean energy projects, and I realise some are more out there than others, but really, solar powered trees? It's satire you fools.
