United States Patent Application: 0130134049
Our apologies to our readers: Our headline is only peripherally related to the technical core of our dispatch.
And, our apologies to the company who now prefer to be known as "BP".
But, although the geographic and technical scope of their enterprises might have broadened over the years, "British Petroleum" is how some of us geezers came to know, and still remember them, as.

Sunlight can be used to convert Carbon Dioxide into substitute natural gas Methane.
Our apologies to you for the rather uninformative holiday greeting we used in our headline. And, our apologies to the honorable Yugi Zenitani, of Japan's Panasonic Corporation, the lead named inventor of the United States Patent we bring to you herein, disclosing yet more technology developed by Panasonic's team of accomplished scientists, wherein simple sunlight can be used to power the conversion of Carbon Dioxide, as recovered from whatever source, into a number of useful substances, including, again, frack-free substitute natural gas Methane.

We don't want to grace it with any quotes or references, but, you see a lot of ink nowadays being devoted to the concepts and plans for replacing Coal-fired electric power plants with units fired by natural gas, such schemes being fueled by the wildly-overblown shale gas phenomenon, with an unfounded mania for shale gas and it's supposed benefits itself being fueled by the many breathless news reports concerning it; news reports that seem as if they could have been drawn more from gas industry press releases than solid independent research.

It should by now, from our many previous reports documenting the fact, be accepted incontrovertibly, that, Carbon Dioxide, as it arises in only a small way, relative to some all-natural and un-taxable sources of emission, such as the Earth's inexorable processes of planetary volcanism, from our essential use of Coal in the generation of truly abundant and truly affordable electric power, is a valuable, maybe even a precious, raw material resource.
