On: Breakthrough solar cell captures CO2 and sunlight,...

[willvarfar]

Yeah, this sentence in the middle of the article:

> The ability to turn CO2 into fuel at a cost comparable to a gallon of gasoline would render fossil fuels obsolete.

Doesn't actually say that this is at a cost comparable to a gallon of gasoline :)

Sly words.

[epistasis → willvarfar]

I don't get the "sly" part; talking about implications of the work is important, as well as future goals, and the sentence is extremely clear. You'd have to be an idiot to think that they're claiming to be that cost effective, and generally that type of person would not have made it through the intro paragraphs.

It would be pretty shocking if it was already cost comparable, of course :-).

Sure, but there is a big gap between "we can see a path to getting there with mass production" and "sure would be nice, wink"
