Once again, the Germans have managed to find a way to make a replacement for petroleum. We could all benefit from this.

Interesting, a device that takes CO2 and H2O and creates a burnable fuel. We have had that for years, called a TREE.

And you don't need to send the damn Germans any Thank You Notes. Keep warm Jerry, and be advised, new trees are growing every year!

Whats with the "damn Germans"? I happen to be a German born, now US Citizen, a Vietnam Era Veteran, a Disabled Veteran, and a Retired USAF Senior Nuclear Weapons Crew Chief. By the way, none of my family members during either war were ever in the military in Germany, or supported the military. Be careful what you say and who you say it to.

I'm pure Aryan German and I'm not offended by that. Everyone knows how smart and creative we were and still are. Revel in it and lighten up, you'll live longer or at least until the next Oktoberfest!!!

better they work on synthetic fuel then their other obsession, taking over all of europe. by the way during WWII as oil got rarer, the germans developed replacement fuel for aircraft and tanks.
