Aircela's $15-20k machine makes 1 gallon of gas per day out of air and 75kWh of electricity.
Or you could put that energy in an EV and get 255 miles instead of 38, without the machine in between, and no combustion products on our streets.

Refrigerator-sized machine makes gasoline out of thin air
The Aircela acts like a mini direct air capture facility, sucking up carbon dioxide and then synthesizing it into real, usable gasoline for cars.

However it seems that in this case the solution could have been simpler:
1) Make sure conventional backup power acts as promised
2) Change the rules for turning off solar when over- or under-voltage occurs, so solar doesn't turn off all at once

The extraordinary elite propaganda effort on behalf of nuclear power has worked: public support for nuclear power is at record highs.
This took place during a period in which the only nuclear plant built in the US is 10s of billions over budget. Pretty impressive.

This election has been so revealing of the real Peter Dutton. A bit of poll pressure and he has not been able to hide his extremism on race and gender. Even with all the cover he has been given over the last three years. And now, in the final week, it’s full mask off. What a disgrace.
