Prometheus Fuels (YC W19) Closes Series B with $1.5B Valuation

What's the catch? Does the fuel cost $10 a gallon?

Trying to click this on my phone in a low-service area (I waited 10 seconds and got nowhere besides a loading screen) is a great reminder of why companies should strive to have at least some of their materials — anything related to fundraising is a good candidate — in plaintext.

The website really glosses over the part where they turn alcohols into gasoline. Is this an existing technology that is already available? I dont know as I'm not really plugged into energy generation technology.

Also, it says that Titan turns 9 millions kilotons of CO2 into 1 million gallons of gasoline. Does it actually do this or is that what they expect it to do?

I haven't had a loading screen for that long on a website, or a framerate that low, since I last used Flash in 2007.

This is a shame because I think the company does something interesting? I'm not sure, because the website is getting in the way of understanding what it is, but reading the Wikipedia entry it sounds fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_Fuels

I admire the attempt to make your site really cool, but jeez it's so unusable. Perhaps the most "form over function" site I've used in years.

Please use a million or so and just make the website a static site.
