		<description><![CDATA[How effing stupid are we supposed to be. The energy input to make the methane will be several times the energy of combustion when the methane is burned.

And, of course, all the methane will become exactly the amount of carbon dioxide originally removed from the atmosphere.

Net, no carbon dioxide removal. And considering all the carbon produced during the manufacture of the Terraform system and the solar/wind systems, this proposal actually increases atmospheric CO2.

And the cost claims are lies. This is criminal fraud.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If it&#039;s &quot;synthetic,&quot; they could just call it &quot;synthetic methane,&quot; right?  Calling it &quot;synthetic natural gas&quot; makes my brain hurt because I like to think that natural things are not synthetic.

I love methane tech because I was raised on &lt;em&gt;Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome&lt;/em&gt;. Typically I like to see it as a way of dealing with dung from agriculture, but I am a fan of methane tech regardless of how they make it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very glad to see @TerraformIndies here. This could be really big. For example, why not put a Terrform Indies converter on every nuclear power plant in front of those electric heaters in the cooling towers? Closer to where people need natural gas than oil wells where they just burn the natural gas off because it&#039;s not worth transport costs.

And if CO2 is bad, like the climate change people say, it&#039;s great to have a way to turn CO2 to something useful. 

And worse case, it&#039;s a subsidy for smart hardworking people who think ahead. Subsidize things, get more of them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#039;s all about EROI (Energy Returned on Invested).

Can this machine produce more energy in the form of natural gas than it consumes in the first place? Also, the energy to build and operate it also counts.

Now, let&#039;s say that it works: we are still far away for something like it that works for Diesel, the holy grail of our energy society.]]></description>
