    The writer isn’t advocating to ban them now, no one is.

    I am.

    Synthetic fuels are viable (in some countries you are already able to buy them), many countries around the world still subsidize oil production - stop thhose subsidiaries, put them in Synthetic fuels, make splitting a part of the co2 that’s being pulled from the air mandatory and we’ve solved a lot of issues, because now there not only an alternative, there a solution for getting co2 out of the atmosphere. Porsche does it, Neste (not to be confused with Nestlé!) as well, CAC started the pilot production as well…it works, it’s viable, it’s not that much more expensive and most countries have some form of co2 tax on products made from oil anyway.

    Ban fossile fuels after 2030 and fuck all those greedy oil companies sideways.

      Are all major custom fuel types (gasoline, natural gas, coal, kerosene/jet fuel, propane) available in synthetic, with little to no modification of the hardware using it, and able to scale to immediately cover our global usage?

      Ban fossile fuels after 2030

      Why 2030? You just said you are advocating to ban them now.
