Using sunlight to generate fuel from CO2

Energy, Science Add comments

This is a potentially amazing technology, capable of not only supplying fuel, but consuming CO2 in the process. The fuel produced is, of course, a carbon-based fuel, so burning it will generate CO2 again, but the system consumes more CO2 than fuel produced due to a side product of carbon monoxide, which can be used to build other hydrocarbons.

One has to wonder that if this technology catches on, whether we will, in not too distant future, be consuming too much CO2, and an absence of it in the atmosphere causes the earth to go into another ice age.
