Right, it a very long way from a paper to production at the scale that would have any significant effect on reducing 
carbon and the use of fossil fuels.  I also noted the part of the article where they need to use natural gas as part 
of the process.  Create CO2 to capture CO2?

Electric cars are here today (got my Tesla Model 3 a month ago) and the grid enhancements will happen incrementally 
as the cars are sold.

This is a lightly rewritten version of the Carbon Engineering press
release claiming that they have a cost effective way to capture
atmospheric CO2 and either sequester it or turn it into fuel.

I hope they're right, but it seems a wee bit early to put all of our
eggs in that basket.  Controlling CO2 is a big problem and we're going
to need multiple approaches to make progress.

R's,
