Scientists Discover Efficient Process to Turn CO2 Into Ethanol


http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/green-tech/a23417/convert-co2-into-ethanol/

So maybe things just might not be all gloom and doom possibly after all???

This article reminds me of another discovery that allowed Dioxin to be turned into (relatively) harmless compounds years ago. What I take away from this is how things can go right even when they go "wrong." Or, as Adam Savage said, "Failure is always an option." So now, corn/maize won't have to be grown to make ethanol, forcing the choice between feeding people or industry, exclusively. I also imagine millions of alcoholics rejoicing that their carbon dioxide-belching rides can create booze!

Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?
