I fully agree with Al Gore on this one. It’s not a solution at all and just provides an excuse to keep using carbon based fuel, just like the Germans and their e-fuel. Not saying it doesn’t have any useful real world application, but you’re deluded if you think this will ever be enough to continue using fossil fuels.

For example it could work very well in fighting smog if applied on an industrial scale, but it still is just a sorry excuse to whitewash carbon based fuels.
