I’d say wow, but unfortunately for the inventor I was reading about “Exploding lakes” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_lake which contain high quantities of CO2 due to volcanic sources, and from time to time “explode” releasing the contained CO2 and killing life in the area by asphyxiation. This dry water could pose such a hazard if the CO2 decided to escape all of a sudden.

I wonder what it would taste like, or if it would quench your thirst… It would probably just leave you with a dry mouth.. And an awful taste..

Interesting application for mitigating climate change by absobring CO2… but one wonders how much energy goes into making the stuff? Would the net CO2 emissions be positive or negative?
