Not a whole lot of engineering types here, huh?
Could you explain it, please? I mean, the content-free sneering is adorable, but it doesn’t really move the discussion along.

Ok..
I'll keep this very simple.
Let's say you take 100 kilos of carbon out of the atmosphere... You combine it with hydrogen and burn it. You will emit 100 kilos of carbon back into the atmosphere.
Did you gain anything?
Nope.
You lost - and probably added more carbon to the atmosphere.
Why?
Anytime you change one form of energy for another, there is loss - in the form of heat. This heat does not magically appear - it has to come from somewhere.
And safe bet - it will come from the most economical source.
Probably fossil fuels.
