These algae also produce biogas that can be used for heating or producing electricity.

Alternative in what sense?

Welp, all the trees are gone but at least there are these cloudy stinking tanks of goo everywhere. Does anything not dystopian happen anymore? Like these things are a set piece from Blade Runner FFS.

It's a pretty bad example in this case because the picture is literally on a street with trees. What these are probably for is putting in places where no one's going to look at them but places where you can't put trees, like industrial estates and the rooftops of buildings. Aesthetics aren't important if no one is ever going to look at them aesthetically, and anyway they kind of look cool.

Wake me up as soon as some goofy ass startup found out how to arrange the algae to display ads.

Keep in mind that tree roots can brake through anything

Not all do. That's an oak thing really. Pines, most stone fruits, etc, take a path of least resistance, unlike oaks which are more "I am going that way, and NOTHING will stop me!"

humans are crazy. You want to know whats wrong with trees and bees? It's pretty hard to make a profit of them
