The first thing that strikes my mind is to use a better fuel for cars. Hey! How about NATURAL GAS it has fewer pollutants, less carbon dioxide and is a hell of a lot cheaper than gasoline. Seemes to me to be the most efficient way to solve the problem. Of course, the EPA would have to conclude that natural gas is inherently less polluting than gasoline and not require every add on conversion to pass an expensive and unnecessary test.

It just amazes me how many humans don't seem to get what is Really happening! Bailey, burning carbon based molecules makes carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide prevents some heat bouncing out into space and the atmosphere and oceans are incrementally warming and the Arctic ice is melting and even more heat is being absorbed by the Arctic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean is warming even faster and the methane/ice crystals at sea floor are melting faster and huge, gigantic columns of methane gas bubbles are bubbling up and into the atmosphere and methane is 70 times (20 year average) more powerful than carbon dioxide at stopping heat escaping into space and the extra heat will release exponentially more methane and there is enough methane there to ensure we all get very very hot and make almost all the Earth unlivable for many decades... and you want to burn more carbon.... OMG... give us a break ... please!

Dear Bailey, you would be right if you would combine your idea with that of the complaint of Sapoty. You might have meant that, it just didn’t come out. Today, we and nature produce a gigantic quantity of waste. Nature does so with leaves, branches fallen of a tree, etc. We produce a lot of food and dirt, all biodegradable. Until now mostly the waste disintegrates naturally by all kind of little and big creatures in open air, producing tons of CO2. Then you combine this fact by using methanation to produce the fuel for the car engine with a very effective power source like an Elsbett engine for example (use your search engine) Fact that you withdraw immense quantity of lost energy in waste, that makes carbon dioxide anyway, definitely would be a big progress in reducing global warming. Though putting this to work would be a breakthrough for boosting the economy worldwide, most of the influencing people are just not into that. Ready even to oppress every attempt of doing so. Methanation could replace petrol. Nobody should be so shivery to that idea. What difference is there in making money with methanation or drilling oil?
