gollark: The hydrogen can be burned cleanly, which is nice.

gollark: Oh, and you can't convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and carbon, it'd be oxygen, carbon and hydrogen.

gollark: Also, you might be able to get the carbon out as diamonds using whatever magic molecular reorganization thing you're using to do this, in which case it doesn't need to be buried and we can just use ridiculous volumes of diamond as a structural material.

gollark: *Can* you efficiently just convert carbon dioxide/water back into oxygen/carbon? I mean, the whole reason we do it the other way round is the fact that a lot of energy is released.

gollark: Or just keep them lying around, like in forests, but there are capacity limits.
