This is very telling. Obama knows he is losing on gas prices among other issues.

[WKUHilltopper]

Takes scum to know scum.

[4yearlurker]

The youngsters already know about the Flux-Capacitor.

[gundog]

...a plant-like substance, algae...

Ask him if life begins at conjugation.

How is plundering algae any different than plunder oil from the earth?
How long does it take for algae to renew?
If we don’t have enough acreage for ethanol how the heck are we going to have it for algae??
How do I wake up from this nightmare?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Why not? They replaced the leader of the free world with pond scum, oil should be easy in comparison.

:: Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17 percent of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in America.” ::

The great and Mighty Obozz! What a visionary!

After the election, they’l begin to tell us how it will take 10-15 years to get this new fuel to a sustainable market.

Kinda like what they said about ANWR production in 2002...10 years ago.

That reminds me, I gotta get my set of Texas plates soon. Think I’ll go the “personalized plate” route and order

DRLANWR

[grobdriver]

Obama tells college kids... blah, blah, blah...

Doesn't this guy ever talk to adults?

Ever?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17 percent of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in America.” ::

Then they can just repeat their rhetoric of 10 years ago (ANWR) and tell us that it will take at least a decade to get this “new” fuel to a sustainable market.

I think I’ll get some personalized plates: DRLANWR

The Universities in Florida are also partnering with a company in Fellsmere, Fl that is developing and studying algae as an alternative fuel source. Obama knows this and is using it as a talking point. That's all this is. The algae will never replace crude as an abundant source but he's pandering to the dimwits using something they're familiar with. Look for him to replace algae with wind and solar when speaking with dimwits in California, etc.

[Joe the Pimpernel]

We could replace him with pond scum and never know the difference.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Obama tells college kids we can replace oil with pond scum?

But can we replace the pond scum president with a real president?

[null and void]

PND SCUM

[MIchaelTArchangel]

We replaced a real president with pond scum on January 20, 2009. I suppose pond scum could have other uses.

[rightwingcrazy]

Left unsaid is the large carbon footprint of pond scum converted to fuel. Or have we abandoned the Global Warming thing for now?

[oncebitten]

Isn’t Algae exactly like a plant, in that it IS a plant?

[jimnm]

The algae deal is similar to switch grass ethanol as it’s always “just around the corner” if only we spend money to develop a product that will never be able to compete on cost with conventional fuels.

The students are probably dumb enough to buy into it. The same goes for his framing of keystone and the huge areas off limits to drilling or exploration.

[N. Theknow]

Telling how Idi Obama only goes before grade school students, college students, and high school students to float idiocy such as this.

Hey! Who can we pitch algae as fuel to this week?

Well, let's go to a private university where most kids ride bikes and tell them how wonderful, exciting and forward thinking we are.

Try giving this speech to the unemployed oil rig crews that got pulled from the Gulf.
