        I have a bachelors in chemical engineering, the energy balance on these devices never works out favourably. As soon as you scale up to any meaningful impact on GHGs, you get power inputs on the scale of entire countries.

        If you’d like to do a proper literature review instead of daydreaming, I’d be happy to look it over
