With that kind of heat, methane can be made from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, then oligomerized into gasoline.

thats cool as a weapon but i don't see how it's very useful or productive for industry. it works only during certain hours, in certain regions, and only under certain weather conditions. it also only works on small areas. gundam is retarded, the only way you can power a gundam is with fusion energy... they're trying to sell us this crap instead...
