Apparently it is true that some British engineers have figured out a way to create gasoline or petro and they are calling it "Air Capture" technology be perfected by a company named Air Fuel Synthesis. Basically what they do is create a synthetic fuel using electricity and air. It mixes sodium hydroxide with carbon dioxide before zapping the resulting sodium carbonate with electricity, to form pure carbon dioxide. At the same time, hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water vapor captured with a dehumidifier. The carbon dioxide and hydrogen are then used to produce methanol which in turn is passed through a gasoline fuel reactor, creating petrol.

Breakthrough ... scientists hope it could help solve the energy crisis

What is everyone's take around here on the subject? Wish it were diesel, huh?
