great issues altogether, you just received brand new reader. What would you recommend about your publish that you just made a few days in the past? Any sure?

It’s all about the costs. Yes, the cost of producing fuel from algae is at present prohibitive but these costs are coming down rapidly of late. Agree Jack, just takes a few believers.

now the emerging scientists & engineers are focussing toward the generation of electricity via using sea-algae as source.
for doing this the principle involved is photolysis of water molecule involved during photosynthesis process.

Uh, salt water alge, build alge farms out at sea.

First food to make fuel now water. You’d think people would learn after cutting down the forest to make fire wood to heat homes this type science never works in the long haul.
Why not take all this science and learn to make Natural Gas our next fuel and drill baby drill.

It seems the more we drill the more those reserves of Nat Gas keeping going up.

Wow Do any homework or freethinking- Writer. DO you work for exxon? It doesnt have to be fresh drinking water. More fertilizer than corn, Idiot- Corn requires the most fertilization than any crop we grow! ten year old data thats relevant, every change in the industry has come in the past 5! The internet has not truth police or BS meters, which it should- You need to find the truth yourself and not threw some partisan douche, writer- Your job is facts not ads!

Since those big ugly Therma plants still exit, why not build algae farms in their waste stream. CO2, emitted from stacks, could be cooled and piped through the pond, allowing the algae to trap what they need. This is still a carbon-loop, but better than building huge pipe lines needed to let oil companies use the sequestered CO2 (this is currently being done right now, by the way, google “Encana CO2 sequester Weyburn Saskatchewan”). We’re trying all other ideas to clean up therma flue gas…including trucking in thousands of tons of lime thousands of miles to plant, just to reduce the sulfur (SOx)….why not this?

Imagine what a losing enterprise it would be to manufacture cell phones! My God, you would have to build thousands of cell phone towers all over the country, and you know those cell phones cost $3000 to build! Just 20 years ago, this was the thinking of “experts”.

This “STUDY” is an obvious pro big oil piece that takes the dumbest way to grow algae, get nutrients etc. Sounds like something Glen Beck would write.
