Maybe I will become a believer in climate change after all, if that's what it takes to get plenty of cheap alcohol.

Two problems. There is no reliable indication that man has affected climate. The other is ethanol sucks as a fuel.Yeah, but you can DRINK it!

I can fill my tank up with it, or maybe even drink it!

The process still requires energy input. The only difference between this new mechanism and previous ways of converting CO2 and water into an energy store (like ethanol) is its allegedly good efficiency. It's a possible alternative to batteries for solar, wind, or tidal power sources that produce power that isn't synchronized to demand. Also could be hooked to nuclear power plants to scrub carbon from the atmosphere in a presumably useful form.
