Yeah, that's impossible. (or a lie)

Comments from Freepers on this thread were informative for me. The quick dismissals not so much.

We're going to see "climate neutral" goals here as soon as the Dems take over the administration. Any technology that undercuts their march is beneficial, even though it appears that some of these efforts are part of their scheme and therefore a scam. That's probably going too far. Flying, too, was once impossible and unbelievably stupid to try. But I'd say any invention that thwarts their entire effort would really be a game changer.

Of course that's true. However, it's VERY important to note that there is no known simple "invention" that produces sufficient energy to give all 9 billion future inhabitants of the earth the standard of living enjoyed by most people in the US today. Articles that ignore this reality and tout some unrealistic process that violates the laws of physics do more harm than good. They give people the false impression that simple government mandates will solve the problem. It's important to retain scientific realities, and not let unrealistic notions govern our behaviors.

Did you flunk chemistry?

Agood example is that it seems to cause more pollution to build an electric car than a regular car would generally produce...the “clean” comes with running after the pollution has been caused....wonder how many electrics can recharge at one w/o taking Kalifornia’s grids down...
