There are multiple websites with "ground breaking" technology breakthroughs in manufacturing fuel from CO2
There is always some glitch, usually high cost of material or an inordinate of energy needed to produce a kilo of synfuel
The same with Hydrogen, The miracle fuel for ages. Still takes more energy to produce a kilo of hydrogen than is returned in the end
The technology to produce a kilo of Lithium from Brine has been heavily touted for at least 5 years
So far it has not worked out economically
One of these days a lab breakthrough will come through and produce an energy source cheaper than what we have today
Fusion Energy maybe the one to work first
Who knows
But for today, EVs and hybrids are producing more miles per dollar spent with less emissions than ever before
Solar and wind are producing increasing amounts of electricity every year
Battery technology for vehicles and system storage is evolving daily
The costs are dropping regularly
New industries will evolve
Other industries will fade away
There will be winners
There will be losers
