What does the "1 minus the efficiency of plants" mean?
Fight smart, not fair.
DUMB
Well, the efficiency is listed as about .7%, so presumably plants are 99.3% efficient.

I'm almost positive that's wrong.

I don't think real plants are THAT efficient.
Edit. I checked around and plants are only 3% - 6% efficient.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?

Yeah, that's a lot closer to what I expected.

I was thinking of the light harvesting complex.

Also, it's not photosynthesis, photosynthesis produces sugars and other hydrocarbons, not hydrogen gas.

Photosynthesis produce glucose and oxygen.

And this produces Carbon monoxide (both a green house gas and a horribly toxic material) and hydrogen.

If that is the case then what are its advantages?
I see the Awesomeness.
Cheaper production of hydrogen gas I assume.

Oh so I'm sure you've all kept up to date with your uses of Nonstoichiometric Ceria but for those of you out a bit out the loop, I thought I'd keep you up to date on "High-Flux Solar-Driven Thermochemical Dissociation of CO2 and H2
".
It's like photosynthesis, for your car. Note how they've managed to make it 1 minus the efficiency of plants.
