Thanks for the interesting post Red Badger but looking at some of the replies it would seem we have some of the same mentality we decry from the left.

There is no perfect energy source for every application. A country like the USA needs every possible source imaginable as our energy requirements are so diverse.

What works good in a car may not work in the center of an explosives factory or what works to heat domestic hot water may not work in an airplane. So what? Give us as many possible sources of energy and the market place will figure out the winners for each application and there might be multiple winners for a single application.

I am disappointed so many shots taken at this and numerous other ideas by fellow Freepers. I almost had to look at the URL to make sure I had not been hijacked to the DU.

On a large scale, I foresee this technology being utilized to reclaim CO2 from power plants and factories to recover some of the fuel costs. On a small scale, it could also be used for home heating or small business CO2 reclamation.

With the CO2 factor being removed from the objections to coal fired power plants, there is no longer any bluster about greenhouse gases and global warming...............

Understand your point about the shots, but most new "breakthroughs" never mature to viability. It's very easy to remain sceptical, particularly when the article contains:

"... searching for ways to store, dispose of, or prevent the formation of the greenhouse gas, which is a major driver of global climate change."
