Chasing a Cloud With a Rubber Spoon

Futile effort; trying to achieve the impossible using inadequate means.

When your buddy asks what someone is doing and you don't know, you say "That boy is out there Chasing a Cloud with a Rubber Spoon."

Synthesis of Petroleum, Rubber and Related Materials

The decades-long quest to create the world's most important industrial materials without drilling holes in the ground or tapping trees. Petroleum synthesis (from coal, natural gas, or biomass) is real and practiced at scale—Fischer-Tropsch plants turn gas into liquid fuels, especially where oil is expensive and gas is cheap. Rubber synthesis is even more successful: most rubber today is synthetic, made from petroleum. The frontier is making these processes cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient, and eventually making them from renewable sources. The dream is a world where transportation fuels come from air and water, where tires are made from plants, and where the petroleum age ends not because we ran out of oil but because we found something better.

Synthesis of Petroleum, Rubber and Related Materials Example: "The plant synthesized diesel from natural gas, producing fuel that burned cleaner than oil-derived diesel. It worked perfectly, at scale, for decades. Environmentalists hated it because natural gas. Oil companies hated it because competition. The plant didn't care; it just made fuel. Synthesis had won, quietly, without anyone noticing."
