It seems that scientists have found a way to convert CO2 to hydrocarbon fuels. Read here.
Now what that means is that the high level of CO2 in the atmosphere which is causing so much concern to certain people and causing our governments to apply yet more stealth taxes to counter may not be so much of an issue as was thought.
Although still in experimental stage, and not really applicable to stopping our government taxing us further into recession sadly, I can see this being handy in the way we handle CO2 in sealed units like spacecraft and submarines. Where currently we use CO2 scrubbers. Now they could generate power from the waste product an in enclosed environments that sounds like a bonus.
Of course when the technology is freely available and we don’t have the issue about CO2 we can generate power from the gas in the atmosphere. Reducing CO2 levels at the same time as generating power. Personally, I’m not convinced that CO2 is as big an issue that we can take it from the atmosphere to slake our requirements for power. We need certain amounts of CO2 to power life on Earth. Of course by the time this technology is ready we will have been taxed £Trillions and had the recession extended by a few years but such is the cost of professional politicians who think they know the answers to everything.
Technology will save us if we give it the chance. Politicians on the other hand will not want to lose this chance to tax us.
