Something to watch investment wise if this technology continues to develop.

They'll probably all be found dead soon...

There is also a process of converting carbon into a material called graphene that has lots of potential.

You're starting to get awful cynical there, young man.

Hadn't heard of that. Have to look into it. Thanks!

The cynic in me thinks that there is no shortage of interesting things we can do when money is no object. The hard part is doing them when it is.

If only we could convert common sense into policy . . .

That would be worth something......

You keep talking like that you'll end up dead lol.

As Fagen and Becker wrote;

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything

I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive

That's deep and dark @noharleyyet

This is summing up my mood lately....

"Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep"

If only "common sense" wasn't radically different depending on who you ask.

" Because the system runs on electricity, the use of renewable energy can make the process carbon negative."

When I was a kid, I hooked up a generator to a motor, damn friction and Thermodynamics shot me in the butt as far as getting rich in perpetual motion.

And then there was the time I invested in fuel cell technology....

Still plenty of people to ask, but they're not designated scale tippers...

Then what will we have to argue about?

Swiss or cheddar.

That's your problem, my opinion is the only one that matters

Ask them all. Still aren't going to find consensus. Never have, never will.
