       A New York startup has built a machine that produces gasoline from air.https://www.jalopnik.com/2083556/new-york-startup-buil...Which is perfectly possible, just not very efficient. After all, dinosaurs breathed air, and all our gasoline comes from liquified dinosaurs.It takes carbon dioxide and water vapour from the air, electrolyses the water, and combines them to create methanol. Then it goes through a series of more complicated process to turn the methanol into usable fuel.The device costs an estimated $20,000, and if you have a free source of electricity, a gallon of gas costs around $1.50, though the article doesn't mention exactly how this was calculated.Since you probably don't have a free source of electricity, a gallon of gas will actually cost between $10 and $30, which is why dinosaurs always win.

       @Aether That's why the MIT fusion energy researcher was offed :thonktinfoil: Cheap energy = everyone gets cheap gas from almost nothing
