Zim: The story I read in my paper, was that a
company called Solazyme was making the fuel from
algae.

http://www.solazyme.com/technology

Biotechnology that Creates Renewable Oils from Microalgae
Through our world class genetic and chemical engineering capabilities, we’re coupling proprietary strains of algae with standard industrial biotechnology; converting what the earth produces naturally into what society needs most - oil.

Solazyme's proprietary biotechnology platform creates renewable oils by harnessing microalgae's prolific oil production capabilities. Through world-class molecular biology and chemical engineering capabilities, we're able to cost-effectively produce high-value tailored oils.

How the Solazyme biotechnology platform works
Most microalgae produce their own nutrients by using sunlight in a photosynthetic process. Our proprietary microalgae are heterotrophic, meaning they grow in the dark (in fermenters) by consuming sugars derived from plants that have already harnessed the sun's energy.

By using standard industrial fermentation equipment, we're able to efficiently scale and accelerate microalgae's natural oil production time to just a few days and at commercial levels.

(More at the site above.)



Zim: I agree that we can't grow enough corn to
make our fuels - even trying has caused the price
of foods to go up. Is this different? I'd like to
find out.

Okay guys,

here is my take.

Fuels.

The fact of the matter is that the majority of American citizens that drive MUST buy gasoline and have done so for a long time at very reasonable prices.

There is no shortage of oil domestically and in Canada to refine into gasoline for our own consumption.

However, if you begin to harvest all of the corn needed to make this bio fuel crap, you will have vast shortages of Corn and prices for products that need corn will skyrocket. So you wind up hurting Americans again all in the name of being "green", which is the biggest farce ever perpetrated by leftist loons.


WE CANNOT GROW all the corn needed for bio fuel. Period.

WE have more oil available than Saudi Arabia.

What do you think we should utilize?

At least until we can mass produce some substitutes that are price efficient and inexpensive.

Green energy = high prices and costs every consumer more.

Also it is a farce.

I bought two dozen of those new "green" bulbs that OBAMMY is trying to shove down our throats with GE being the beneficiary of them.

They claimed a 12 dollar per month difference off my electric bill.

SO, I figured if I had 24 of them I should see a REAL drop in my electric bill.

Did it happen after a three month test?

NOPE! Not one cent difference.
I went back to using incandescents. No change using them at all.

And, I don't have to call HAZ MAT to clean up Mercury if I break one.

LED's are a different animal. They have their uses and places like Televisions! lol!!!!!

In time they will get cheaper. But give me back my right to use an incandescent light bulb.

This was ahoax perpetrated by Obama and his friends. I wonder which group of them besides GE benefits from it?
