Audi Creates "Fuel of the Future" Using Just Carbon Dioxide and Water
EwanPalmer writes: German car manufacturer Audi says it has created the "fuel of the future" made solely from water, carbon dioxide and renewable sources. The synthetic "e-diesel" was made following a commissioning phase of just four months at a plant in Dresden, Germany. Germany's federal minister of education and research, Dr Johanna Wanka, said she has already used the fuel in her Audi A8, and the company hopes to produce at least 160 liters of the crystal clear fuel every day in the coming months. "This synthetic diesel, made using CO2, is a huge success for our sustainability research," Wanka said. "If we can make widespread use of CO2 as a raw material, we will make a crucial contribution to climate protection and the efficient use of resources, and put the fundamentals of the 'green economy' in place."
If they could capture the water from the tailpipe, gather the CO2 from the air, and use a windmill on the roof of the car to generate the power to make the fuel, they could DRIVE FOREVER!!!
It's spelled "LAWN".
From the article:
The clear fuel is made form juts water, air and renewable energy
I wonder what "form juts water" is and how much does it cost. It's probably quite uncommon.

Shoot, now there will be a CO2 shortage and my soda will be flat.
Cities flooded by NO exhaust? Wouldn't that be gas!
No, my car has an air filter.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
What, did you figure that Audi was just making diesel to pump back into the ground and forget about?
Obviously not. They're going to mix it with kerosine, gasoline and bitumen to make synthetic crude. And then they'll pump that back into the ground,
Fossil fuel is solar energy.
