burning carbon means combining it oxygen to get carbon dioxide. And
carbon dioxide happens to be the feedstock from which plants gro
The biofuel basis I mention doesn't use land biomass as input but only
solar (or other green energy) and the atmosphere.

I think the main hurdle to using biofuels is reducing the cost of enzymes used
to break down cellulose. ("cellulases").
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulase Plenty of biomass is available, but
it is necessary to break down cellulose. That's hard, because nature has
evolved cellulose
One of the primary problems with the nuclear power industry is that all
it's initial commercial participants came from military contracting where a
key purpose was breeding weapon stockpiles. Pressurized uranium heavy water
reactors were the best for this. Safety for civilian use was much less a

A possible alternative is to transition to biofuels, which harvest all
their carbon from the atmosphere, and can be net carbon neutral.

Sorry I posted "up", but my stupid Yahoo email editor would not add a line (or

This article sure sounds foolish. As I see it, the main driver in the

tends to be driven by gradual adoptions of automation, which has been a major
factor for 50+ years, and actually far larger. Automation isn't goin
