I think finding a renewable way of producing hydrocarbons for fuel is pretty valuable though — if these carbon vacuums can eventually be used to essentially turn solar into hydrocarbons, that’s pretty useful.
Hydrocarbons are, unfortunately, a really great way of storing energy Although hydrogen and batteries are great, stuff like fast transcontinental flights are tough to achieve without the use of jet fuel.
It is valuable, but at the moment it’s like we’ve got a hole in our boat and we’re just throwing the water back out with a bucket. Essentially useless in the long-term without plugging up the hole!
