Why are the chimneys of the power plants not equipped with active carbon filters?

Some persons believe that the active carbon filters will clean the air. If all power plants what uses fossil fuel will be equipped with carbon filters, what are similar what is used in the gas masks, there will not come carbon monoxide or sulfur combinations out of the chimney,  and this might be the solution for many pollution problems. The active carbon can clean the air, what comes out the chimney, and the carbon what is reduced in that reaction might use in the new filters and other industry what uses carbon.


The technological solutions for the climate changing are very difficult to make real, and the dumping the carbon monoxide to the water is very problematic, because the carbon dioxide will transfer the water acidic, and that is very bad for the water system. The carbon dioxide and monoxide will react with the water, and transform as the carbon acid, what causes eutrophication in the water system.


And the storing the carbon dioxide or monoxide in some craves is a way absurd than dumping it into the oceans. The caves will fill with carbon combinations and sooner or later the gas will somehow break out the caves, and in the real world, there will be no experience to storing that kind of gas into some caves. The store must stand for centuries or even thousands of years.


The volume of the carbon dioxide production is the problem of the storing that gas anywhere. In the ocean, those gases will cause the acidulation and even if that process would be slower than in some lakes, the oceans will sooner or later fill with carbon acid, and the massive eutrophication will begin in the enormous scale, what the planet ever has seen. And the eutrophication will work in the ocean-scale same way than in lakes.
