   That's the most compelling argument I've seen yet for the (lack of) feasibility. Thanks for the info.

   Yeah, you're probably right about it being more expensive, and much more difficult logistically, to do on a ship. The motivation for it was threefold: 1. Less environmental impact (no covering up a large swath of land). 2. No cost to buy th

   The CO2 + 2H20 -> CH4 + 4O2 has seemingly been done (per the paper linked). I agree that the issue would likely be economic factors, but perhaps it's worth investigating those more fully. There are already tankers that transport liquifi

    Thanks for the compliment! We do have some hacky code that gets chrome to work, but we're not sure why we need it. Googling around you don't hear other people facing the problems we are. We built http://lazeroids.com in 48 hours for the
