The amount of junk science out there related to the environment is crazy. This one got my attention by just how hard Dell was pushing it. They claim again and again 'plastic from air, not oil'. Many thanks to all of you who supported this video through Patreon!

Plastic from the Air, Global Warming Solution or SCAM?

Always depressing to see the level of scientific illiteracy in the mainstream media and in many cooperation. So Fox News, CBS, The Weather Channel and USA today all had articles on 'aircarbon' which purports to pull carbon out of the air through a hose.

I had a Dell laptop once, it sounded like Thomas the Tank Engine on start-up - "peeshticoff, chug-chug..." Now I know why. Expect Dell shares to fall when news of this reaches the boardrooms. If you've got 'em, sell 'em.

Thanks for this video. Sounds like a Dell publicity stunt and if left un-exposed they will reap tons of green customer good will. Let's hope the truth surfaces as you have exposed it.

Trees created our oil and plastic, but that is very past tense. They're not currently creating our current oil. We are spending the cumulative involvement of millions of trees over hundreds of thousands of years. We are spending that natural investment at a much higher rate than it was created. The current daily tree-based oil creation rate will be low compared to historical values as the number of source trees has reduced thanks to themselves replacing delicious carbon dioxide with highly toxic and destructive oxygen. Future production will be falling still with our involvement at reducing tree stock directly. This is the kind of conjecture you can take to the bank and I would stand by anybody who provides evidence and verifies this. Now I say this, because in your solar roadways scam video you don't mention that some of the problems they face are very likely to be fixed with technological advances. Ok, glass probably isn't one of them, but the storage of energy very likely is. There are electrochemical processes that are known and have been known for many decades to store energy in dissimilar liquids. I myself have been involved in a project to industrialise that very process to an economically viable level. Sadly that venture failed, but not because of the technology. But even if that venture, or a similar venture did succeed and we were suddenly able to very quickly store electricity in a liquid ( and transport it for use elsewhere but that's a whole different discussion ) that still wouldn't get solar scamways off the starting block. They are literally lying for dollars. But then the point I'm making becomes, that while Mr. f00t doesn't seem to like to speculate on the march of technology and frankly why should he or anybody else for that matter, nonetheless that march is happening, thank science. So the final point comes to, even if there was a speculative technology out there that, just like a tree, could turn carbon + sunlight into oil via cellulose, it's only getting the same sunlight a forest does, and that will determine the maximum carbon to oil conversion rate and it won't be enough or fast enough to meet demand. We will still have to make withdrawals from the investment that history made for us. Which is exactly what he said in the video making wonder where I thought I was going with all this when I started typing it but I've typed it now, so I'm pressing "Post".
