Fuck it, I'm tired of you losers holding me back. We're colonizing Venus and that's final.

I thought that it was hopeless but then came by this

it turns out that there is a way, using only concentrated uv light, to turn co2 into c+o2 !

the best method to do change venus atmosphere as quickly as possible using this technique is to use some sort of machine that is almost 100% made from carbon to turn either heat or solar energy to intense uv light and use the resulting carbon to expand it or make copies of it.
assuming most of the atmosphere would be turned to c+o2, the atmospheric pressure would still stay high but humans and machines coming to Venus would only need to bring hydrogen with them (the lightest element) to get more energy with the 2H+O = H2O+energy reaction, and create water in the process. the hydrogen could be brought in a modest pace, but in the mean time vast amounts of land could be explored and built upon without the scorching heat in the way.

I know it's sounds like science fiction (because it's is) but never the less I tried to find some material that is made almost entirely out of carbon and can emit uv light in respone to some sort of energy input, but failed, so i'm addressing you guys.

anyone know wuch a material?
