When a couple choose a beach with children, Playa la Audiencia is their best choice B If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heattrapping carbon dioxide(二氧化碳 ) into the atmosphereand yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming. In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions(排放 ) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline. The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel(燃料 ): gasoline or jet fuel. This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climatechanging pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycleequal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removedwould mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic(合成的 ) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming. Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the concept has been built, is operating or has a close cousin that is operating.” Dr. Martin said. The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals. There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbondioxidetogasoline factory: it requires a gre
