Analysts note this is not the first time “green” energy proposals have failed to deliver on utopian promises.

Tom Tanton, a senior fellow at the Institute for Energy Research, said, “One cannot make one thing out of anything; and by that I mean they want to make oil, but they want to make it out of everything.

“The universe has been separated into materials and elements for good reason. I’m not sure exactly what those good reasons are, but turning it all back into one thing (i.e., petroleum) just seems counter to the first and second laws of thermodynamics,” Tanton said.

So, we should never try to make oil that does not come from Saudi Arabia, I guess. With answers like that, I know I'm convinced. Next time, this guy should at least try not to sound like quite so much of a tool.
