I couldn't find this posted anywhere. But I was watching a James May doco on alternative energy and two things actually made me sit up and take notice. One was making petrol from the CO2 in the air. While its not making huge amounts (only a few gallons a day) it is quite a clever idea and its done using solar. Also if more development money is put into it (which I could see the petrol companies doing) it could actually become quite feasible as the price of oil goes up.

it'll be bought by a petrol giant and buried, like many other of these great inventions.
i saw a story about a machine that can turn garbage into petrol products, so we really have plenty of options when getting it from the ground becomes too hard.

So if this could be made on a major scale to supply the public and cheaper then using oil you think the petrol giants wouldn't do it?
