World's first reactor converts ocean CO₂ into biodegradable bioplastic feedstock

8. I don't think the statement that I am beating anyone over the head with a bat...

...by stating my opinions based on decades of study of issues in energy and the environment, this at a level of considerable detail, is warranted.

I work hard on these issues and have spent thousands upon thousands of hours of my free time on reading and understanding the scientific literature on this topic over many decades, indeed decades before DU existed.

I was immediately familiar with Dr. Willauer's work as a result of that effort.

The simplest approach to avoid feeling that I am swinging a bat by stating what I've learned is to put me on the DU ignore list, particularly, as seems to be the case, you have no use for what I say.

The ignore list works great and certainly avoids being offended, irritated or whatever by my commentary, or anyone's commentary, in what I regard DU to be, a public forum for liberal thinkers to express opinion on the issues before the country and the world.

I have a wonderful ignore list myself. There are definitely people who go beyond irritating me, and there is no use in engaging them.

Thanks, though, for the interesting reference to succinyl esters, which couples nicely among the many similar approaches to CCU I've studied, the majority of which are based on MTO, methanol to olefins chemistry. I'll put it in my files.

Have a pleasant afternoon and evening.
