5 Cool Things About the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime

Next month Toyota’s 2017 Prius Prime plug-in hybrid will go on sale in dealers as the premier product within the Prius line.

Scientists Accidentally Discover Efficient Process to Turn CO2 Into Ethanol

Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee have discovered a chemical reaction to turn CO2 into ethanol, potentially creating a new technology to help avert climate change. Their findings were published in the journal ChemistrySelect.

The researchers were attempting to find a series of chemical reactions that could turn CO2 into a useful fuel, when they realized the first step in their process managed to do it all by itself. The reaction turns CO2 into ethanol, which could in turn be used to power generators and vehicles.

Do you have the right to be annoyed if that customer designs those vehicles itself?

Only, apparently, if that customer looks like it might pose a future threat because it might sell its vehicles to others.
