It doesn't matter. The environmentalists will never let one be built.

Correction: in highly reactive beneficial carbon monoxide, that will become CO2 minutes after by swallowing its share of O2. From a California school, indeed.

me too - I was going to say .... They invented a ... (drum-roll) ... "

But in response to another post - yes .. the eco freaks will go crazy saying we're robbing flora of their food !!!!

One of these days we’ll be “recycling” all our CO2 so well that we won’t have any CO2 in the atmosphere at all. Huzzah!
Of course, no one mentions the fact that... plants need CO2 to photosynthesize, or that CO2 contributes roughly 12% of the greenhouse effect and that completely removing it from the atmosphere would likely dump us into a very severe ice age.
But what do I know.

The amazing process produces CO (carbon monoxide) which can be processed by bacterial fermentation to produce ethanol, and massive amounts industrial chemicals used to produce plastics. By splitting CO2 you can save fuel, produce useful chemicals and eliminate global warming greenhouse gases.What no apple pie and ice cream???

This from a different and a bit more detailed article. Read the other article.
“Because their device is not yet optimized, they still need to input additional energy for the process to work. However, they hope that their results, which they presented at last month’s meeting of the American Chemical Society, will draw attention to the promise of the approach.”

I hope it works out though. If it does, I wonder theory the left will think up to replace global warming to cripple the US economy.

Since CO2 is dispersed in the atmosphere at a concentration of about .05%, gotta wonder how they plan to catch hold of the stuff. Maybe butterfly nets.

Why don't we convert the surplus CO2 into
7-Up and
Coca-Cola? Then we could just drink all the Global Warming.

catalytic converters convert CO into CO2wow - even better - we now have perpetual motion (well - needing sunlight of course - but close)
Now - we can all get rich rich rich by converting FR into PETP (or is it PETF ?) and get lots of gubmint grants to protest this inhumane killing and maiming of plants starved of their natural CO2 by our cruel conversion of it into a poison and oxygen for our own greedy benefit.

Let me see: CO2 is one of the essential gasses for the survival of this planet, we need it for plants to thrive and produce oxygen. CO is a deadly gas that will kill humans pretty quickly as anyone who has ever seen someone inhale car exhaust to commit suicide can attest. So, in their infinite wisdom these idiots are going to get rid of CO2, the good gas, and replace it with CO, the bad gas. Can't wait for that to happen./SAR.
We have truely become a planet full of idiots.

You can't stop global warming by reducing (or even eliminating) carbon dioxide emissions--because global warming is caused by the Sun, and not by carbon dioxide:

Well, it sounds like they're going to take 350-400 ppm of atmospheric CO2 and replace it with 350-400 ppm of CO.
Problem solved. No more global warming...or humans to worry about it.

A device to prevent
Global Warmingtm?
I was thinking more along the lines of a really big sock whith shich to ram down Algore's throat.
And I'll have my pockets filled of bars of soap to throw at any of his stinky hippie friends that try to stop me...

We are robbing the flora of its food and energy.
Transferring the suns heat energy into electrical power for example should be permitted on one condition:
That the energy be used for the electrical needs of all the animal and plant kingdom.
Wide-screen televisions, iPods and electrical toothbrushes will then serve at the pleasure of leopards, badgers, dung beetles and the spotted owl.

Because their device is not yet optimized, they still need to input additional energy for the process to work. Oh.
Ya needs MORE energy (to make the CO2 into CO) than what ya get from da sunlight falling on da (incredibly expensive) solar panels (which only generate usable power from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM local every day anyway) .... So ya need to burn (some kind of mythical fuel) to convert (useful) CO2 into (poisonous) CO....
