"In the long term, recycling of carbon dioxide captured from the air itself will be possible." — Nobel Laureate George Olah; Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute, University of Southern California.
CO2 recycling and energy independence. We get CO2 from burning coal for power and from converting it into liquid fuels, don't we?
Why don't we set our national will on making the "long term" a lot shorter? We got to the moon in ten years, didn't we?
