Scientists Accidentally Discover Efficient Process to Turn CO2 Into Ethanol

[SO91]

The researchers were attempting to find a series of chemical reactions that could turn CO2 into a useful fuel, when they realized the first step in their process managed to do it all by itself. The reaction turns CO2 into ethanol, which could in turn be used to power generators and vehicles.

The tech involves a new combination of copper and carbon arranged into nanospikes on a silicon surface. The nanotechnology allows the reactions to be very precise, with very few contaminants.

You see, alcohol IS the solution to any problem.

Maybe I chose the wrong forum to post this in. If so, mods please move.

those guys need to be careful they may die mysteriously in their sleep.

Now that's cool stuff if they can really do it.

The question is this. Will God allow it? Or is this some of that science we can reject?
