Origo Industries: Capture your car’s CO2 and use it to re-power your vehicle – and your home
Origo Industries has developed a system that captures the CO2 from your vehicle’s engine and then allows you to turn these emissions into fuel at your own home to re-power your car. The same fuel could also be used to power your house.
The system uses a revolutionary new approach where CO2 is regenerated through algae in a home unit, allowing the user to produce bio-oil (up to 2500 litres per year tax-free).

Which is yet another of the many many reasons why we should be highly sceptical of government surveilance through CCTV coverage, unfettered wiretapping and other forms of personal monitoring.

Keep in mind this is on top of the anal probe, DNA swipe, taking of fingerprints, retinal scan, drug use inquiry and all the other fun stuff potentially awaiting you at the US border *as a citizen of an allied country*. WTF?
