      It is truly despicable that as the rest of global society wrestles with the monumental task of moving away from fossil fuels our tax dollars are funding research to make the problem dramatically worse. I was perturbed enough when I heard the private sector was trying to bring this failed technology back. These researchers should be ashamed of themselves.
