“That’s the thing about counterintuitive ideas, they contradict your intuitions. So, they seem wrong.” #PaulGrahampic.twitter.com/EUtlNNayMV
A rule of thumb I've learned from decades in tech: When an idea crosses from seeming impossible to seeming hard to implement, pay close attention.https://twitter.com/PrometheusFuels/status/1270387068556816385 …

Any notable examples?
-
One that is still very much in progress is SpaceX developing reusable rockets. This brings the cost of access to space down by an order of magnitude and opens up a ton of new possibilities. The future is exciting.

Isn't synthesizing fuel from the air an old concept? It's always been a cost and energy consumption problem. Maybe this startup has a revolutionary idea?
-
Prometheus does carbon capture and conversion more efficiently (at room temperature using solar- & wind-sourced electricity) to produce fuel that is cheaper than fossil fuels—they’re on the right track and I hope they succeed. No time to wait for everyone to buy an electric car.

"Removing X from the atmosphere and reusing it" hasn't been a worthwhile technical proposition. Just check all the "water from air" and "electricity from static" hoaxes over the centuries and even ongoing scams. Unless one has solved for entropy, in which case petrol is a copout

Interesting that you think BMW execs haven’t thought about this

Impossible to implement itself is quickly becoming an AI compute capacity issue, which is becoming easy to implement.
