	What's wrong with trees ?? It's not exactly clear from the article, but it suggests this research is being used to counter AGW by GHG's which of course is ~~a bunch of balderwash~~ subject to debate. However, if this was being used to carbonate soft drinks or make dry ice, then not so bad.

	Personally I'm hoping that this will lead to a practical solution http://web.mit.edu/press/2012/hybrid-copper-gold-nanoparticles-convert.html It would be great to produce a useful by-product that could be re-used downstream or up-stream whichever it is to replace the fossil fuel feedstock being used in the first place. __________________ Spinco
