Washington University: Researchers create novel electro-biodiesel more efficient, cleaner than alternatives

[NNadir]

5. Wow!!!! We're saved! Of the 11300 CO2 to C2 electrochemical papers...

...published in the last ten years, according to Google Scholar - I usually come across 5 or 10 a month in my general reading - this is surely the bestest ever! Super! If say we cover all of Washington State with solar cells, except for little holes for the cities to break through, a divert the Columbia River to fill the big bioreactors with water and bugs to transform the C2 compounds to biodiesel, why all of our energy problems will be solved!

...and here I was thinking it would be difficult to do.

Simple!

Better I'm sure than all the benchtop renewable energy breakthroughs that have populated this forum in the 20 year period in which CO2 concentrations in the planetary atmosphere rose by about 50 ppm to be scraping 430 ppm.

We're saved.
