Keep in mind, the Climate Panic Cult was telling us oil would run out by the year 2000.
"In Finland, a pilot plant known as Soletair – a joint venture between the Technology Research Centre of Finland VTT and the Lappeenranta University of Technology LUT — has been set up to use hydrogen extracted from water and carbon dioxide captured from air as raw materials to produce hydrocarbons.
"The experimental facility was constructed using three shipping containers and is located on the campus of the Lappeenranta University of Technology in southeast Finland. The process requires a great deal of electricity, so the facility generates its own energy from an on-site solar power plant." Essentially, the final product is a renewable carbon-neutral oil whose usage does not accelerate global warming.

The population bomb cult believed that the UK would no longer exist by 2000. Gives a whole new meaning for “you’re always a day away” not intended by Li’l Orphan Annie.
