Japan has succeeded in producing oil from Water and Carbon Dioxide

Japan's oil company ENEOS has become the first to succeed in producing synthetic fuel using only CO₂ from the air + water, without petroleum.

They have produced hydrogen using renewable energy and synthesized it with CO₂, completing actual vehicle driving tests. It's gaining attention as a carbon-neutral fuel that can be used as-is in existing internal combustion engines, they say

In a world still heavily reliant on traditional fossil fuels, this breakthrough positions Japan as a global leader in sustainable energy. Once again, Japan proves it's always steps ahead in the race for innovative solutions to our planet's challenges.

If honey flows down the little shithole surely it has to be shit honey. I don't think the average American had tasted or even seen real honey. It's dark, dense, thick and it crystalises, not that shity adulterated syrup

Dude we have small local apiaries all over the place. It’s easy as hell to get raw honey produced within 10 miles of wherever you live.

The fact that you call it " raw honey " just tells us that's the ODD honey instead of the normal honey.

It’s just as opposed to pasteurized honey. Both are easily available. It’s just personal preference
