Only needs massive government funding.

I worked on methanol fuel cells. Basically useless anywhere cold or too hot.

—”The greenweenies want to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and pump it under ground.”

Some of the nuttier nuts are working that process!!!

The rest can get all the CO2 they can use, from CCS linked to industrial processes.

From the capture and storage facilities like this one near Decatur Illinois:

"Thermodynamic reality defied!"

Entropy rules thermodynamics. Yes, they can store energy in this manner. You much decrease the entropy of this system to extract energy. The only way to do this is inject energy into the system via heat and or electricity or perhaps unicorn farts.

ENTROPY RULES! The rules of thermodynamics can not be broken. Any chemist knows this.

A good start, but probably best to flesh out your grant application.

They say to put your best stuff in the cover letter.

Yes, a short exec summary is good.

I’m guessing you never saw that South Park episode, then.

First you have to trap very significant amounts of the CO2, which I understand is not an inexpensive operation.
