    IFL Science[^]:

    Scientists from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have demonstrated significant progress in their novel gas-to-liquid process, which simultaneously recovers carbon dioxide and hydrogen from seawater, and report that it can produce a fuel-like hydrocarbon liquid which may eventually offer a renewable replacement for petroleum based fuel in jet engines.

    CO2 + H2 (+ Magic) = Jet Fuel

      For magic, read energy...

      Obviously energy will be required as an input to drive the system, and currently this energy is going to come from fossil fuels.

      Actually, this energy will probably come from the nuclear reactors on the aircraft carriers.

        But aren't nuclear reactors just magic (all sparkles and pixie dust)? ;) Yeah, nuclear reactors are the most likely power source. Hopefully they can get this scaled up - it might provide a broader, more carbon-neutral energy solution. Was your quote formatted using the C# format? Cute to see the random blue words.

          *Checks Source* He used SQL. Or, more likely, CodeProject used SQL when pasting.

          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

                I clearly need more sleep. I read that headline as "Usng sweater to create jet fuel" :sigh: That would certainly have been magic.

                  I am totally going to do that in the future with posts.

                    Oh good! A way to extract CO2 from water and put it back into the atmosphere! And, if we use fossil fuels to power the process, we kill two birds with one stone! Marc
