Exactly, humans are free from limitations. When nature doesn't suit us, we have the capacity for transformation, just as bees have. However, we can choose any scale, even planetary. But that freedom is an illusion. There is no transfor

I find this idea of a "synthetic environment" kind of strange in a way. We crossed that line twelve thousand years ago when we started large-scale farming. That alone was a transformation of nature which immensely upset the previo

Not really? It's not different from SMR. Hydrogen is tiny and non-polar, so it's easy to filter only for such small molecules, making storing it a pretty big issue. SMR produces a mixture of methane, water, hydrogen and carbon mon

Yeah but, gas is more power-dense. Burning hydrogen made from fossil fuels, be it with microbes (more emissions) or SMR (less emissions) in any case produces more emissions than just burning natural gas. Only "green" hydrogen work

That's obviously necessary, yes. It still really doesn't make much sense to do it with microbes when compared with SMR, though. It's entirely possible to store the CO from SMR as with microbes producing CO₂, but there's

Effectively. Less efficient than SMR (ideally 253 kJ/mol against 206 kJ/mol, microbes consume more, so even less so), produces literal CO₂, uses fossil fuels and is in any case has higher emissions than green hydrogen ever will. O
