>>The article has alot of wrong information in it
For example?
For example:
“Use of hexane as a solvent to leach out the oil, which, along with pressing can extract more than 95 percent of the oil; however, there are inherent dangers here due to the volatility of hexane solvent.”
This is bull. Hexane is a commercial production process used on a very large commercial scale and extremely safe. This sounds like environinny hysteria.
the other:
“(batteries) require hours to recharge; unless you want to charge them quickly (thus shortening their life span)”
The new nanotechnology Lion’s are able to charge very quickly with little heat and hold up for thousands of charges. With an on board generation source they can be quite viable.
The guy needs to do his homework better.
For example?
For example: Iowa, with an average insolation (the rate at which the sun’s radiation strikes a surface) of 170 watts per square meter,...
The global average is 1000 watts/meter^2
And: This green crude does not have the drawbacks of biodiesel, which needs special care in its storage, transport, and use (being no more than high-grade plant or vegetable oil
Biodiesel is made by putting biological oils (plant and animal) through a de-esterfication process, basically removing liquid plastic from it, it's a chemical reaction that requires using lye and ethanol. It is much more than "high-grade plant or vegetable oil".
I don't know if the author is ill-informed or deliberately misleading his audience because of an agenda, but he is definitely publishing incorrect information.
