Does this mean we get to cover the entire Erf in photosynthesizing solar panels?

Thank goodness. I was afraid we might leave a few square feet uncovered.

"Breakthrough Solar System..."

I'm sure I'm not the only one who got very confused as I read that title. Maybe "Breakthrough Solar-Powered System..." would have been more clear...

According to the researchers, a semiconductor powder “absorbs the ultraviolet radiation to start a chemical reaction” that converts the captured CO2 into a synthesis gas

Why build a machine to do what plants have been doing for FREE for billions of years.

Plants turned atmospheric carbon dioxide into trillions of tons of coal.

Plants turned atmospheric carbon dioxide into billions of trillions of tons limestone.

Why reinvent the wheel?

CO2 is a harmful greenhouse gas?

CO2 is a plant nutrient.

PLANTS/TREES NEED TO GROW.
