So this has nothing to do with the biofuel thing I was asking about?

Do you know how good faith conversation works?

Not a fan of biofuels myself, except maybe wood gasification. The current incarnation of growing food crops for ethanol seems like a bad proposition, at best a zero sum. I've seen technology that uses air, seawater, and electricity to produce biofuel by extracting. Currently the navy can do this, though to what extent I don't know. https://www.nrl.navy.mil/mstd/branches/6300.2/alternative-fuels With a (near) limitless source of electrical power (such as onboard a nuclear powered vessle) it seems like a feasable option, but for ordinary/practical purposes it's not a good fit. Perhaps in coming time the technology will be improved. If the next generations of this technology improve on the same order or better than the leaps from vaccum tubes to solid state electronics who knows what the future will hold.
