École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne splits carbon dioxide and get's energy in return! Solving both pollution problems AND energy problems in one strike! This news bullit rocked the ancient Earth in june 2017. Scientists invented a low cost way to split CO2 using copper-oxide nanowires in electrolysis tech modified with tin oxide to come up, using solar power, with a net profit of 13.4% energy. This would have been great news. Earth was in a corner. Alas, as expected the Oil Companies were not amused. A few months later they made an offer that could not be refused, and the tech was put into The Vault. Not to be used by any big name again untill many, many decades later. Too late to counter The Big Floods as we all know. The tech info altruistically found it's way to the grey net weeks after the sell and was shared by millions for personal use. Authorities suspected the original inventors of leaking for global benefit, but nothing tied them to the deed. *added note: The leakage tracks reached a dead-end at a Nepali monestry's IP who later on were discovered to not have any internet connection at all. The only monk there, floating in the air, was not available for any comment on the matter. He was in trance and chanting one's and zero's. [unsolved] -Reporter K1.0 INN (Intergalactic News Network)
