British Company Makes Petrol From Air.
A small British company has produced the first "petrol from air" using a revolutionary technology that promises to solve the energy crisis as well as helping to curb global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
"We've taken carbon dioxide from air and hydrogen from water and turned these elements into petrol," said Peter Harrison, the company's chief executive, who revealed the breakthrough at a conference at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London.
"There's nobody else doing it in this country or indeed overseas as far as we know. It looks and smells like petrol but it's a much cleaner and clearer product than petrol derived from fossil oil," Mr Harrison told The Independent.
"We don't have any of the additives and nasty bits found in conventional petrol, and yet our fuel can be used in existing engines," he said.

All those execs had better get some body guards. US bankers and the oil companies will kill anyone who gets into their pockets.
What does that mean when you take carbon dioxide from the air? I thought plants and trees used carbon dioxide for their respiration and then gave off oxygen in return, which humans breathe, and then give off carbon dioxide back to the plants and trees. (a symbiotic relationship) What is left when you take hydrogen from H2O? HO? What is HO? How does this really work?
