Unsubstantiated reports indicate that Obama's Unicorn Gas initiative flopped.
IF
A HUGE word, that can be one of the most dangerous words in the English language to NOT pay attention to.
Second problem is the "can figure out" part. IOW, we HAVE NOT "figured out how", and we might well NOT "figure out how" to make useful, affordable energy using the stuff.
this fuel that we can grow right here in the United States
WRONG: This is conflating/confusing the algae with the possible future product FROM algae. as if it is a done deal.
Like his algae, his rhetoric is a slimy, gooey mess...and just as worthless.
-—”I think it’s important for the American people to understand we’re not going to drill our way out of this problem,” he [Obama] said.
“It’s also important to recognize if you start drilling now you won’t see a drop of oil for ten years, which means its not going to have a significant impact on short-term prices. Every expert agrees on that.”-—Obama 2008
But...? Algae?
Unsubstantiated reports indicate that Obama's Unicorn Gas initiative flopped.
Obama would know all about pond scum.
Algae will work. The Planet essentially makes hydrocarbons from layers of dead algae. But somebody should tell The Dear Leader that it takes hundreds of millions of years, incredible heat & pressure. Maybe with the right catalysts you can short-circuit the process, but my guess is that you won’t get the long chain hydrocarbons that store the most energy.
My guess is that Obama slept through science class — if he ever took one.
On the bright side, the EPA will never put algae-eaters on the endangered species list, as they are now a clear and present danger to our energy independence.
A Clear And Present Danger!
People are actually laughing at him for this. A few more of these and we may see the long-predicted Obama meltdown and crackup.
So is Obummer’s bumper sticker for re-election going to say “Skim baby Skim” or maybe it will be “Scrape baby Scrape”!!! lol.
Maybe the Republicans need to come out with a campaign slogan that says...”We cannot skim/scrape our way out of this mess”.
If algae is the Grand Elixir then build the plant and produce the fuel. Then figure the cost.
What? Already been done? Maybe that’s why algae oil isn’t just going like Gangbusters.
The president's solution? Algae, for one.
******
I guess I must be stupid then, because I say let's drill for oil on U.S. territory land and see what happens.
Algae is the ONLY answer? Why can't there be TWO answers: Let's do algae research, and, at the same time, let's ALSO drill for oil on government lands.
Maybe it is just me, but I think President Obama is losing his power to think clearly and make rational decisions when he unbelievably argues and strongly believes that putting our resources into converting algae into energy is more important than immediately drilling for oil on government lands.
Yes. I think it is only right that we start calling President Obama "The Algae President".
Yes. Instead of President Obama's campaign theme of "Hope and Change", we now have "Hope and Algae."
