bio diesel is a 0 emissions process.

algae removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then releases it back it doesn't add any more than was already there.

I think that's called a greenhouse, it's not that damn expensive. Greenhouses are used commercialy, so it should be an ivestment, not a detriment.

@timetraveler3797 Electricity vs. gas isn't an issue until over half of America's electricity isn't made by coal anymore... Electric cars DO pollute, you just don't see it. We should demonize the oil sellers, because OPEC, rich bastards, have America by the balls with oil consumption largely imported... It's not just a matter of being 'green' or whatever, it's a matter of national security, that's how I see it anyway. Cheaper fuel, regardless of what it is, means cheaper EVERYTHING.

One interesting possibility would be to use the water from oceanic dead zones that have become so because of the precence of too many chemical fertilizers. Using that water would reduce the presence of chemical fertilizers in it and that would lower the amount of algae growing at the bottom.

(They could perhaps also harvest the macro-algae growing there to give the area a chance to get some oxygen back into the water).

Ok all you naysayers listen up. This technology is probably the best solution to the problem with our fuel consumption.  Diesel engines are far superior than conventional engines. Secondally the algie can be made in the desert and remote places of the US and not take up good crop land, while possibly using solar energy to produce it. Thirdly instead of pumping oil out of the ground overseas we would be employing US citizens to produce this biofuel, it would create jobs. Everyone wins.

well didn't take long for you to show your ignorance and start name calling instead of intelligent dialog.

I'm not sure you got the intent of the message that I wrote, did you miss the praise for the EV1? Or that fact I mentioned that if people had the money for an SUV they had money for an electric car? And Quit demonizing the Oil sellers, if you want them taken down, start a business in using waste oil, biofuel crop(not corn, not soybeans) or an electric battery sub-station to compete, and make sure to Lobby for laws in your favour. Otherwise, shut up and stop being a whining do nothing pussy.

Get current my friend the roadster was just the prototype and the car that would create intrest in the company.The Mid size car comming out in 2010 will be a 5 passenger car that will get 275 miles to the charge.Why do you so adamantly continue to support dead technology.People like yourself that have demonized any attempt to get this country off the dead end of fossil fuel transportation of any kind.Are you heavily invested in EXXON?.I just don"t get it.

Its unbelievable that intelligent poeople spend a lot of money in such nonsense things. The first that must have a researcher is common sense

[timetraveler3797]

the tesla roadster is quite expensive, while the original EV1 produced by GM could get 100 mile charges with technology at the time, while costing as much as an SUV that people seemed to love.

Face the future with an open mind,there are alternatives to dooming the human race in cesspool of the greed of big oil.Tell me this why can Tesla come out with a mid sized family car next year that will get 275 miles to the charge.A company with limited assets and capitol investment.The best a multi trillion dollar corporation GM with the millions they can throw at R&D is the VOLT at over 40,000 a copy.What a joke
