[ale] OT: Fuel from dirty water and sunlight!

This feels more like April 1st, but here you go:

"breakthrough conversion of sunlight and waste carbon dioxide (CO2)
directly into liquid hydrocarbons that are fungible with conventional
diesel fuel."

Here's the patent they are talking about:

Is this one of those bizarre patents they give out even though the
"invention" doesn't work?
