Interesting if true: fuel from air

A British firm based on Teeside says it's designed revolutionary new technology that can produce petrol using air and water.

Seriously, BBC? "It's" for possessive it? Never snark before coffee.

Presumably there's some kind of energy source, assuming they have not gone the heart of a forsaken child route. Also

Air Fuel Synthesis in Stockton-on-Tees has produced 5 litres of petrol since August, but hopes to be in production by 2015 making synthetic fuel targeted at the motor sports sector.

it's not quite ready for prime time.

This is a way of moving energy from energy rich regions to energy poor ones.
