This is the best quote imho: "If we can get CO2 from the air at 125 $/t-CO2 then the idea of making fuels at prices of order 1 $/L looks plausible over the next

This is the best quote imho: "If we can get CO2 from the air at 125 $/t-CO2 then the idea of making fuels at prices of order 1 $/L looks plausible over the next few decades."
It's uplifting to me, both for the high value on a ton of CO2 and the (still) low resulting price of fuel. Solar beats fusion (chance * impact)!
- ThrustVectoring 10y agoYeah, with cheap enough electricity you can run the chemistry of burning transportation fuels backwards, and wind up making our current cars carbon-neutral.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoSolar is fusion-at-a-distance, though...
- arikrak 10y agoAlso with a really large number of solar plants, maybe the earth would cool slightly?
