#2I think heavy duty trucks and such will still work on gasoline even in an EV future. So why don't these companies try to solve that problem in a carbon neutral way?

#5I support anything that keeps the wonderful Miata just as it is. (Okay, fine. I more so support anything that keeps the earth healthy and sustainable.)

This has not happened. Climate change is still very real and still being very countered by technology.
Mazda investing in an engine when it's way way too early for everyone to switch to an alternative technology wise is good business and will reduce emissions if it's a more efficient engine.
(In fact, I read the article and it's about a synthetic fuel so this is actually green tech entirely)
It's not abandoning the idea that global warming is real and needs to be addressed.

#7There is no surprise that synthetic fuels work. They worked for the nazis in the 1940s and they still produce them in South Africa, Qatar and other places. In fact in a lot of ways they are better than today’s gasolines because they have a low aromatic and olefin content.
The question revolve around affordability and sustainability. Most of the interest was driven by fears we would be running out of oil, now it is driven by fears that we won’t run out of oil.

#8> Simply put, the synthetic fuel operated much like normal gasoline would have, without the emission drawbacks of the latter.
Hmmm. The fuel is hydrocarbons; so the emissions are at minimum CO2 and particulates.

Do you tell yourself graphs like this are faked or that they don’t matter?

#10I’m confused. This sounds like a good thing if the problem was an oil shortage, not CO2 pollution.
Explain why they aren’t solving the wrong problem?
