We reproduce the headlines of this story, from USC, with a brief excerpt.
We have previously noted for you the work there of Nobel Laureate George Olah. We submit this, perhaps, redundant information since it, in essence, relates how one recent winner of the Nobel prize is confirming what another Nobel-winning scientist, Paul Sabatier, as in our earlier dispatch, had to say about Carbon Dioxide arising from our use of coal: It can be recycled into liquid fuel.
As follows:
"UOP and University of Southern California developing technology to produce cleaner-burning fuels from carbon dioxide
Technology to produce methanol and dimethyl ether from CO2 aimed at reducing greenhouse gases
13 Dec 2007 - UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, announced that it will partner with the University of Southern California's (USC) Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute to develop and commercialize new technology to transform carbon dioxide into clean-burning alternative fuels.
USC developed fundamental chemistry to transform carbon dioxide to methanol or dimethyl ether, two potentially cleaner-burning alternatives to traditional transportation fuels...
"The development of this technology could have significant impact on global energy security, and global warming by converting carbon dioxide into useful products and making new clean fuel technologies available to UOP customers worldwide," said Nobel Laureate and director of USC's Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute George A. Olah."
Who are we going to believe? Big Oil and their unwitting, ideologic "Green" allies, or genuine people of science famously awarded, almost a century apart, for their accomplishments of intellect?
