Everyone keeps accusing me of not reading the article - but I did. The whole thing (despite eye rolls the entire time).

> just that is one more application of Solar energy (on sand, and with using silicon as a carrier).

You seem to have gotten lost in the argument here. I'm objecting to claiming that using by silicon somehow we reduce CO2 emissions.

We don't. Silicon has nothing to do with it. Sure by using the sun we reduce CO2 - but that's orthogonal to using silicon.

If you want to talk about using silicon as a load balancer, or a kind of rechargeable battery, then sure it's an interesting idea.

But don't start claiming it's some sort of super clean fuel or something like that because it's not.
