Coatess viable, challenges electric IMO. Reaso

Reason being custom fuel production.
Excerpted from an article:
...a new additive that helps convert CO2 into fuels with multiple carbon atoms. The team has taken a big step toward making renewable liquid fuels that don't come from oil or coal.
...the reaction was highly selective for the more desirable fuels that contain multiple carbons -- such as ethylene, ethanol, and propanol. We saw an 80 percent conversion to these multi-carbon fuel products,
...Fuels with multiple carbon atoms are desirable because they are usually liquid, and liquid fuels store more energy per volume than gaseous fuels.
...Chemists from the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) aim to artificially create multi-carbon liquid transportation fuels with widely available ingredients like sunlight, water and CO2.
...This may lead to alternative fuels that are efficiently made from sunlight, CO2 and water instead of the traditional oil.
IMO, CSRV burns custom fuels cleaner than power companies producing electricity for electric cars.
