They're digging up old third Reich research on synthetic fuel.

They've already dug up old kennedy wish list projects (NAWAPA) when they constructed their north-south water canal

Click bait still annoys me. This could have read an efficient way to make hydrocarbons from CO2 in the air , water, and solar power to provide the energy to break the existing bonds and reconfigure the freed hydrogen and carbon into fuel. Yeah, too many words.

But the process takes a lot of diesel.
