    I don't understand all of this but it appears to really be something we need.


    Artificial photosynthesis could supply the Earth with fuels of high energy density such as hydrogen, methane or methanol while reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and slowing down climate change.

    Photosynthesis makes CO2 + H2O + Sun Light = Sugar

    Some plants have been tricked out to produce some oil with that sugar too.

    Attempts to keep chloroplast alive outside their host cell have not worked.

    I cannot imagine any man made machine approaching the efficiency of Nature's photosynthesis.


    BTW what are your thoughts further?​

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    Just like some educated idiots ...trying to make something that is already there and trying to sell it to other idiots.
