I am gladly impressed by the delivery of this presentation and it was 8 years ago. My goal now is to check the current state of this technology!

Nanomaterials will continue to revolutionalize the solar production of hydrocarbons as well as producing abundant energy to meet the increasing global demand. Great video and talk, and very informative presentation. This is where the future is at!

Fossil Fuels will never run out Take this point from me

Video zooming the screen poor

Where can I perhaps view the slides? I would like to see them.

Methanol, ethylene glycol, ethane, acetone. How well does all of that stay in solution? We can run engines on that. Gasoline as it is today is benzene, toluene, and a bunch of sub 8-carbon alkane isomers. It wouldn't be anything new. The oil producers don't get a super strong choice on what they get out of the ground. They just evolved to make good use of the product. Maybe we can pick something that's gonna be stable on earth for many millions of years and get good at doing it.

When he says about fossils fuel... "whether it runs out or not" at 1:15 made me suspicious of all comments to follow, because we all know that the amount of fossils fuels are finite on planet Earth. Regardless of how difficult it may be to find them and obtain them - and at what financial cost. Never mind the environmental costs. Unless of course, fossil fuels can be/are being generated by the planet itself. An idea that I think is not validated by current evidence.
