Same issue with wind and solar. Sure, you have to build them first, but afterwards it's a continuous stream of virtually free energy.

How much is virtually free?

How much will each kWh generated from synthetic fuels cost?

As free as green electricity itself. You're just reusing the same attacks that were used against wind and solar.

Asking questions is attacking, now is it? What are we, snowflakes?

Can you please answer the question with dollars and cents? Or if you don't know, say so.

Green electricity isn't free. Neither will synthetic fuels be.

Is green electricity suppose to be nonviable now? If you can accept that green electricity, which will be the dominate source of unexpected cost, is going to be very cheap, then anything predominately made from it will also be very cheap.

This is a repeat of the anti-wind and solar attacks because it is the same general principle. Basically an appeal to the unknown that the new green technology couldn't possibly be cheap, despite plenty of evidence that cost is dropping or that there is no expensive supply chain.
