The plant splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, and CO2 is filtered out of the air and processed with the hydrogen to create synthetic methanol. From there, a secretive ExxonMobil methanol-to-gasoline operation takes place to create renewable gasoline.

LOL. It may be "renewable," but those are very energy-intensive processes. Where does the energy come from to "split water into H2 and O2"? Where does the energy come from to "filter CO2 out of the air"? Why in the world would you choose AIR as your feedstock for CO2 production? That's the silliest thing I've heard. At least go to a power plant where the flue gas has 14% CO2.

Compared to what?

Where does the energy come from to "split water into H2 and O2"? Where does the energy come from to "filter CO2 out of the air"?

The same place the energy comes from to charge your Tesla?

Think broader. The best, most ecologically friendly form of electricity available is nuclear.

This sounds promising to me.

Build more Nuclear!
