      The cost of that thingy outweights the benefits. It misses out economy of scale that you get in big plants. Even with “free” electricity, It’s probably making both more expensive gas and is worse for the climate when you throw it away after it breaks down for the twelfth time in a year and you wonder why it cost so much initially.

      But you think it’s kind of neat I guess.

        No I’m asking you to explain how it’s not carbon neutral. I do not give one shit about the cost, I do not give one shit about how much the gas it produces costs (for reference the Porsche plant is at over $40 a LITER). You have stated it’s not carbon neutral. Explain how. If the machine does what it says then it is carbon neutral.

        I have an electric car, I do not care about this machine. But I do care when people claim something and have zero evidence to back it up.

          Dude, it’s su fucking non carbon neutral you must be trolling.

          First of all it’s a prototype, all the building cost, materials etc all have a carbon cost. The free electricity too has a carbon cost. All the money you want to theow at it, guess what? It has a carbon footprint.

          You’re just angry it’s not a miracle machine.

            So, once again you are incapable of explaining how it’s not carbon neutral, though you think you are. Carbon neutrality has nothing to do with development costs and construction costs are almost always dwarfed by running costs (which I literally mentioned if you would bother reading).

            You’re just angry it’s not a miracle machine.

            I’m not the one getting angry. You are making a bunch of bullshit claims and then getting mad that people don’t believe your lies.
