How could we bootstrap a start-up based on these ideas? Is it possible?
We'd need a small injection of cash to build a small system that produces a small amount of fuel that can be sold to raise enough money to maintain the existing system with a little to spare. That small amount of extra money can then go into building another one, then another.
After building 10 it becomes moderately profitable, and then we move on to building a bigger version.
How do the sums pan out? How big doe this have to be? How are they converting electricity/water/CO2 into methanol?
