Algae is a pot of gold! There is a high percentage to be economically useful!

libya pumps up water for $3.50 a cubic yard and that 600 feet deep plus transportation. Now i dont supose Oil is really that more expensive to pump and transport. how can algae oil compete with the trure cost of oil at 19 cents a gallon production cost ?

Valcent has already devised the most efficient system for algae production. By average, a pond system can generate around 20,000 gallons per acre per land, but Valcent R&D has a system that lets them produce 5x as much given that same amount of land. Their claim that if 1/10 of the state of New Mexico were reserved for algae fuel production, they can meet all of the fuel demands for the economy's transportation.

That end segment was so retarded. Prairie grass "burns clean" and "sequesters carbon" lol. You release the carbon it sequesters when you burn it, so it's a carbon-neutral process. They always say stuff in a way that could be interpreted the right way, but it isn't intended to be interpreted like that. I hate that kind of stuff... oh, and go algae!

geez- good thing they're cute- cuz they're annoying as hell to listen to.

[datzfast]

this is nothing, imagine sitting in a break room having to listen to them talk about what is important to them . it could only be described as torture. LOL
