Making Fuel from Carbon Dioxide, the perfect answer??

Not true, they don't want to drill it and extract cause it will decrease the price.

We are drilling/pumping as much oil now as ever before.

All I know is what I read and the supposed 'experts' all say it takes more energy to produce a gallon of corn alcohol that the energy it actually produces. I do know that without government welfare (subsidies), no corn distillers can remain in business.. So, you get to pay twice. One time (taxes) to subsidize them and again at the pump to use it. What a crock.

The profitability of corn alcohol distillation depends on the final product. Seems like Marker’s Mark is making a dandy profit on corn alcohol.

But it's not the gov that keeping them from drilling more and selling it.

Correct. It’s their own business plan and in some cases labor shortages (they had that issue in my area).

Yes and if gas was selling for 300 a gallon ethinahol would be very profitable

$300/gallon sounds like Angels Envy bourbon.

All these ideas about using electric to
produce something problem is it usually
takes more electricity than its worth! Also
if everyone had an electric car a lot of cars
would be sitting along the road there's not
enough power and the power companies
can't supply such a demand at the present
and its going to take more than a few years
to rebuild so there's enough power for all!

Yesterday diesel here was $4.44 today its
$4.64.

Sorry wrong place

Just seen where it took a person 15 hours to drive 178 miles with waiting in line at a charging station and then actually charging his EV. No thank you, I'll pass wasting $60,000 on an EV.

While you make a good point based on today's situation, my guess is that in 25-30 years those very limiting problems we have now won't exist and we will almost all be driving EV's, not because the government is making us, but because EV's will be the most practical everyday alternative. Ways of doing things constantly change regardless of our individual desires, reluctance, or the vision of what we think is correct.

Your most likely right. However, being 72 I doubt I will ever see that day.
