In other news that we desperately miss, Sweden has developed a turbojet engine that runs on an ethanol-rapeseed blend. The completely green fuel is farmed on reclaimed land in Sahara, using a pesticide free automated farm based on solar robotic tractors. The necessary water is produced from sea water and clean energy. Somehow, these are the kind of headlines my younger self would have expected in response to a global crisis. When did we all agreed energy poverty is the solution to our environmental problems? Edit to prevent confusion: these, of course, are not real developments. It's the alternative reality we have the technological means to create.
