Navy doesn't care about green. They care about aircraft having fuel to fly.

OK, so, let me rephrase this in light of the green initiatives prompted by various forces: The Navy's primary consideration here is not being green, it is making certain they have fuel for the aircraft and turbine powered surface vessels.

Forgive me, but I fail to appreciate your rephrasing in light of the fact that I was commenting on the statements made by a non-Navy chemist, at a non-Navy University, with no relation to the Navy, in reference to a chemical process currently in development.

Thanks for your open-minded appreciation of what was actually being said though. Dude.

Navy doesn't develop chemical processes.

'The idea of using CO2 as a carbon source is appealing,' says Philip Jessop, a chemist at Queen's University adding that to make a jet fuel that is properly 'green', the energy-intensive electrolysis that produces the hydrogen will need to use a carbon-neutral energy source

Okay, maybe 'sequestered' is the wrong word in this instance, my bad. But removing carbon from the sea and blasting it into the air where it'll compound existing problems, including reabsorption back into the sea, and using large amounts of energy to do so, still doesn't strike me as environmentally-friendly in particular...

This is what I don't understand - they're taking sequestered carbon out of seawater and burning it back into the atmosphere as jet fuel, at a huge additional energy cost during the conversion.

This is 'green'? Have I missed something...?

No it doesn't.

S'why I voted Other - I was gonna link to this article, I remember reading about 'em on Boingboing or somewhere a good while ago...

An 'opt-out' lends an air of legitimacy to the spam, while allowing a spammer to confirm an active address, which can then be sold on to more spamming twats for a higher price than an unconfirmed one... a 'known good' address is still worth more on sale to another spammer (hey, your penis might be gigantic and therefore unworthy of v14gr4, but that's not to say you don't *NEED* an RC car kit, right?!)

True - a week of early shifts has narrowed my sense of context down to only the post I was replying to... :o(

Haven't used it in a while, but I'm sure DVDShrink can be set to compile a single .iso file and clear the intermediate output files at the end of the process.
