5. Actually, an economy based on this is carbon-neutral. |

If we manufactured our oil in this way, the carbon would be taken from the environment (for example, harvesting CO2 from the air). So, all the CO2 we produced by burning the fuel would be recycled when we manufactured new oil.
The big issue is obtaining the energy source to actually do all this manufacturing. The only practical source is nuclear, but many Americans aren't yet ready to accept that yet.
