The envirowackos wouldn't allow such things in America. They would fight any attempts in court under the guise of protecting the environment.

I have to disagree on that. Parts of New Mexico and western Texas have enough space for 20 by 20 mile by 6 feet deep algae farms that could grow enough biomass to make diesel fuel and kerosene at amounts that would equal the entire refinery output of the USA! :-) If you've been the Midland, TX area (where our current President grew up) it is pretty much high desert land out there with plentiful space for such huge algae farms.

The algae farms I mentioned in north Africa and the Middle East would essentially make the biomass needed for diesel fuel and kerosene needs of Europe, Africa and parts of Asia.

Do you honestly believe that the envirowackos wouldn't put up a fight?

Cool, add the algee farms to the windmills in Texas, Nebraska, and N Dakota and we can provide all the energy this whole country needs for as long as the sun lasts or until the Lord returns.

Somehow desert doesn't seem like the best place for farming and processing algae (or fish, for that matter).
