Medical school helps me write better

Posted by Daniel Sharp / in Blog / No comments yet

So I’m in my first year of medical school. That obviously involves learning a lot about the human body and such. It also requires a lot of studying to understand why things happen. I figured I’d post an example of the type of detail I need to know for my anatomy tests this week.

Scientists can synthesize gasoline from CO2 and H2O

So apparently some British scientists figured out a way to make gas from CO2 and H2O.

The article talks it up big, saying that it:

promises to solve the energy crisis as well as helping to curb global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

That’s kind of ridiculous. You remove some CO2 only to burn it later and turn it back into CO2 again? Not really helping. Not to mention the fact that it takes more energy to produce the synthetic fuel then you get out of it.
