If your solution requires technology which isn’t even close to being practical, then you’re just going on about sci-fi. That’s very interesting, and with a few exceptions sci-fi usually gets it wrong.
- kragen 9y agoI am not sure what you are talking about, but technology to produce metals from their oxides has been practical since at least Çatal Höyük, 8500 years ago, and cracking and distilling random mixtures of hydrocarbons to make plastic has been practical since 1939. Catalytic cracking has been the main way we make plastics since then, although it was in use to produce fuel and lubricants since a few years earlier. My best guess is that you didn't read the comment you are replying to, so I am hoping that repeating it in more detail, as I have above, will result in you reading it.
