“Imagine driving up to your local gas station and being able to choose between regular, premium, or carbon-free gasoline.”

“…it’s going to require an enormous effort for the world to kick its carbon habit, and this could put another option at our disposal.”

“Any country, any region, can have its own fuel. They’d be no longer dependent on the geopolitical situation if Country X has oil and Country Y does not.”
