36. I think you're not accounting for the required heat energy
The reaction itself requires a heat input. 85% of that energy ends up in the product. Which is excellent.

But the energy for the reaction does not come from the reactants, it must be supplied from an external source. That source will have to be something like wind, solar, or nuclear. If we can do it with wind or solar, that would be great, but I think there will be no way to avoid nuclear.
