So none of that shit is gonna happen right? There can't be enough suckers to fund this thing. Softbank are known for being taken for a ride previously.

So I'm guessing this is a planned as in "Wouldn't that be neat" in the same way I have a planned dyson sphere.

Collect money, spend money on board meetings and committees. Have events at expensive locations. Lots of food and booze. Suddenly, no more budget. Gosh… we ran out of money?

When you burn methane is just a shit ton of CO2 and water vapor left... Along with a trace amount of some other pollutants.

And leaking through the millions of miles of pipe infrastructure, and releasing things like NOx, SOX, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons when combusted
