WSJ: Chemistry Breakthrough; The Economical Transformation Of Carbon Dioxide

A chemistry breakthrough, an energy revolution. "Thanks to recent developments in chemistry, a new way to convert carbon dioxide into methanol--a simple alcohol now used primarily by industry but increasingly attracting attention as transportation fuel--can now make it profitable for America and the world to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions...[R]esearchers have discovered how to produce methanol at significantly lower cost than gasoline directly from carbon dioxide. So instead of capturing and "sequestering" carbon dioxide--the Obama administration's current plan is to bury it--this environmental pariah can be recycled into fuel for autos, trucks and ships." George A. Olah and Chris Cox in The Wall Street Journal
