We don't have to reverse the process of creating energy from fuel.
Firstly, we only need to seperate carbon and oxygen.
Secondly, we get thousands of times more energy from the sun than we need.
So even if seperating carbon and oxygen requires energy, that is not fundamentally a problem.
- ctack 3y agoSo it would be like using our solar potential to capture and then turn atmospheric carbon into fuel again. Probably battery storage will be cheaper, right? Clear to see how cynical it is if you keep pumping carbon out of the ground at the same time as trying to reclaim some bit of it from the atmosphere.

Separating carbon and oxygen is literally reversing the process of creating energy from fuel. That's how physics works. Please stop trying to make arguments when you don't even understand the fundamentals of the subject.
- kaba0 3y agoAt that point, why don’t just stop the ever-increasing rate of CO2 release we do? Sounds much easier than recreating millions of years worth of photosynthesis that did the same thing (coal, oil is from plants mostly that lived many millions of years ago) we conveniently dig up.
