I agree with you, but I don't think it means we stop the pursuit. It won't be viable or cheap enough in time to help in the transition off fossil fuels. If it does pay off the way some people think it may be a viable energy source for carbon sequestration to undo some of our stupidity though. I think it's worth that moonshot.
Oh I wasn't suggesting we should stop the pursuit. I just think it won't be a magic bullet for solving our energy needs the way some proponents seem to suggest it will be.
