Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
That's awesome. Now the question is can they capture all the CO2 emissions from any plant and convert it all to ethanol? That would offer up the ability to have zero emissions for a coal burning plant.Originally posted by joecct View Post

Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
The bad news is in the conclusion:
Emphasis mine.We report an electrocatalyst which operates at room temperature and in water for the electroreduction of dissolved CO2 with high selectivity for ethanol. The overpotential (which might be lowered with the proper electrolyte, and by separating the hydrogen production to another catalyst) probably precludes economic viability for this catalyst, but the high selectivity for a 12-electron reaction suggests that nanostructured surfaces with multiple reactive sites in close proximity can yield novel reaction mechanisms. This suggests that the synergistic effect from interactions between Cu and CNS presents a novel strategy for designing highly selective electrocatalysts. While the entire reaction mechanism has not yet been elucidated, further details would be revealed from conversion of potential intermediates (e. g. CO, formic acid and acetaldehyde) in future work.
Also, the Faradaic efficiency seems to be good but not great at 63%.Last edited by dxmnkd316; 10-18-2016, 04:01 PM.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
Interesting discussion on 538 about a proposal to release genetically-modified male Aedes aegypti mosquitos in one of the Florida Keys. When these males breed, their offspring die before reaching adulthood.
Females are not supposed to be released because only females suck human blood, the males do not. The sorting by sex before release is not 100% perfect, which is one of the considerations.
Other discussion points include which federal agency to regulate the test and how to inform the public and obtain their support."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
USDA did that with the screwworm flies a ways back in Texas and other parts of the South. They irradiated the flies, making them sterile and then released a huge amount in the area where the flies had an infestation. The females bred, but with no viable bullets, they laid infertile eggs. After a number of applications, no more infestation and no more flies.Originally posted by FreshFish View Post

Use of corn for energy? Or just in general. Because the first is laughable until lobbyists are dead. The second is laughable until we're all dead.Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View Post
