This technology essentially would extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and, using a form of electrochemical separation, turn it into fuel. The goal is to create a fuel that will work with existing vehicle and aircraft infrastructure.

Cool! It solves two big problems at once!

  1. Too much CO2
  2. Not enough clean fuel

While surfing on my lunch hour yesterday, I came across this gem! Could this be the future of hybrid technology? (Watch out, Freightliner!) Hey, I suppose these guys could “steer” it into one of the hybrids-only parking spots!

On this Celebrity Look-alike site, I discovered that my passport photo (at 18 years old) matched up with: Barack Obama! Who knew?! It is an uncanny resemblance!

Looking further at his biography (Wikipedia, so it has to be right!), I discovered there are other things we have in common:

  • Both of us were born in 1961
  • Both of us were born outside of US mainland (me: Costa Rica, Barack: Hawaii)
  • Both of us attended elementary schools in foreign countries (me: Bolivia, Barack: Indonesia), where classes were taught in a foreign language (me: Spanish, Barack: Bahasa)
  • Both of our middle names are “Hussein” (just kidding!)

Looks like that’s where the similarities end… but check out this cool morph:
