I heard about machinery to convert atmospheric CO2 to fuel that is workable now but not quite cost effective. I don’t know that because I did not see it in print, just heard it on the Coast to Coast from a weather guy who is not an AGW believer.C2C has some interesting and real guests, physicists like Michio Kaku, on sometimes. Mostly it is “spiritual” hogwash, though.

There are extremists who talk about CO2 removal, whether they believe CO2 is bad or believe CO2 is good. They are mostly "way ahead of their time". The people who believe CO2 is bad are control freaks who could care less that the planet was CO2-starved and adding CO2 was the best thing we have done.

Obviously I am one of the latter, also an engineer, and I keep up with the trade rags that talk about the actual real technology not the theoretical stuff that still needs to he scaled 5 orders of magnitude. I also happen to believe that too much CO2 is just as bad as too little. We are not close to having too much and the technology will catch up as the need arises. Some basic R&D is still needed, and a big helping of capitalism.
