They can melt steel with sunlight - I think this thing alone is really amazing.
Does anyone know more about their mirror system?

I don't think Global Warming can be solved. It's far too late - the ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising constantly. The only thing we can do now is try not to add to the damage already done to the enivronment and stop using non-renewable fuels. I recently came across an article, they are planning to build a huge solar panel and have it installed in the Sahara - since that land is barely used. They plan on being able to supply 1 billion people with electricity, I guess this is one step forward. I also heard that there is a city in China that is solely generated by small windmills that are all over the city. The city has also been designed in a fashion which keeps the warmth in winter, and the cold in summer - in the city by directing the wind through the buildings .
But anyway, converting CO2 to fuel is pretty good but it won't solve global warming. You should also read up on how they can use a substance on the bark of trees to create petrol - which in my opinion is dumb because using petrol will just add to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. What we want to do is start using greener, cleaner energy - energy which has very little impact on the atmosphere...

I think it is impossible to convert CO2 in fuel, and rather expensive. The problem of global warming will be solved but there will appear another problem - of the following financial crisis.
