NASA Recycles CO2

 
You'll recall that our dispatch about our CO2 "problem" being solved by a Nobel prize-winning technique presented, way back in 1912, by scientist Paul Sabatier.
 
So effective is Sabatier's technology, it is what NASA uses aboard the International Space Station to recycle the Carbon Dioxide emitted by human astronauts.
 
Sabatier demonstrated that the Carbon produced by CO2 reduction could be recycled "with the greatest ease", in his terms, into the useful fuel and organic chemical building block: methane.
 
NASA focuses on the other useful product which can be obtained by Sabatier CO2 recycling: water.
 
An excerpt: 

"METHODS OF WATER PRODUCTION: Aboard the Shuttle Orbiter water is generated using a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell which produces both electricity and very pure water. Water can also be produced by reduction of CO2 by hydrogen over a suitable catalyst. The Sabatier and Bosch processes are two Carbon Dioxide Reduction Systems which have been studied extensively. The Sabatier method has been selected for ISSA."

Now, wasn't it another NASA fellow, name of Hansen, we believe, who started all this CO2 ruckus in the first place? Since they're the ones who first told us "we might have a problem" aboard Space Station Earth, because of CO2, shouldn't they be the ones to tell us that problem has now been solved?
 
Somebody should tell us before this Cap&Trade nonsense goes any further and begins to damage our vital coal industries:
 
Carbon Dioxide is a valuable by-product of our coal use. We can make fuel and water out of it.
