Some algea species are rich in oil and can have this oil extracted for uses as diesel fuel. (Hence I use the word "petroleum" when referring to mineral oil pumped from the ground.)<BR/> <BR/>It's not about "global warming". It's about petroleum independence from OPEC. If the tree-huggers like Alan Alda like it, so much the better! <BR/> <BR/>President Elect O'Bama's new Sec. of Energy is a big fan of bio-fuels. I don't know where I saw it, but I heard he's a big fan of algea. Keep an eye on this subject in the years to come. I think it holds tremendous potential to turn garbage CO2 into usable transportation fuels.There is NO Santa Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456842829804624048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37039142.post-10279109814715669922008-12-16T07:57:00.000-05:002008-12-16T07:57:00.000-05:00Good post, with oil prices now on the increase due...Good post, with oil prices now on the increase due to OPEC's insistance that oil production be sharply reduced, ethanol won't lose its appeal, and algae production will be enough to take up the slack when oil prices decline.<BR/><BR/>Either way, the monopoly is broken!<BR/><BR/>KGSKGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743739958015568193noreply@blogger.com
