Silly conservative. Solar power can be used to make water!

Hmmmm...solar power, plus CO^2, plus hydrogen, plus grant money (and a whole buch of stuff not yet worked out) = water plus charcoal briquets!

We WILL be energy independent! Yes We Will! Barak Solar Obama, hmmm-mmm-mmm!

Nope won’t work. We have to get rid of CO2.

More unintended consequences.

That’s the spirit.

Hold it, I just reread your post. You use the words “charcoal briquets.” Unless used decoratively, I’m pretty sure they emit carbon dioxide (and they are icky black things used by icky suburban-types). So you would just be converting CO2 into CO2 with OUR grant money.

I’m sure you did not intend that; so this is your chance to retract you statement (dare I say thought crime) before we are forced to assign you to a reeducation camp. Change that equation so there is no hidden CO2 on the right hand side, please.
