How does using these the power from your panels to generate natural gas help solve climate change? Unlimited abundant natural gas sounds awful
> March 2024: Terraform completes the end to end demo, successfully producing fossil carbon free pipeline grade natural gas from sunlight and air.
If you take carbon from the air, mix in energy from the sun to turn it into a fuel, then burn the fuel (undoing the reaction), where is the pollution?
There's more efficient ways to solve the climate problem than to install ginormous amounts of gas production, like you can run a heat pump instead of creating methane from that energy, but it's a solution that'll please even the old farts (no pun intended)
I'm not saying this is a logical thing to do (note where I wrote "There's more efficient ways to solve the climate problem"), but I've seen humans making less sensible decisions than this one so, who knows, it might actually happen...
