Scientists successfully generate gasoline out of thin air
Breakthrough technology takes carbon, hydrogen and oxygen from CO2 and water in the air to create methanol and then converts it into gasoline.We’ll never hear about this again. And we may never hear from those scientists again.
Amazing though.
Big Oil’s gonna be piiiiiiiiissed
Somebody go put these folks in the witness protection program before they get hits put on them by ExxonMobil
just in time for me to get my first whip
PUT THIS EVERYWHERE.
Now HERE’S a post that needs 4 million notes!
EVERYBODY REBLOG
I’ve actually heard of a man mysteriously disappearing after he refused to the government to not go through with his making of a substitute of gasoline with water. So everybody needs to reblog. Seriously.
Woah. I’ve been wondering if this was possible because it would essentially negate the effects of greenhouse gases. I am wondering what kind of petroleum they make though.
But damn, they actually figured it out. That’s impressive.
I remember reading this article. Apparently it’s not even economically feasible at the moment (takes some ungodly amount of money to only make a small amount).
Still though, Big Oil probably isn’t TOO thrilled about this. Though they could always just buy their way into patenting the process to do this so they retain their stranglehold.
