In what volume, at what cost, with what environmental safeguards and remediations?

What is the energy content out in terms of fuel oil / diesel / alcohol compared to the light and cost of food for the algae, and for the factories required to separate the oil?

Details, please?

Cheers!

I'm just the idea person. I know this is possible. You might take one bacteria and have it complete the photosynthesis process, taking light and CO2 and making a simple sugar. Plants do this every day.

Then take a genetically engineered algae, such as brown algae and have it make the more complex molecule that would be made into gasoline.

Look at the refineries now. HUGE plants with complex processes. They take crude....and make it into diesel and gasoline. One of the reasons that it take this HUGE plant is that crude is highly contaminated with everything under the sun, literally. So they ‘refine’ out the gasoline and diesel.

If bacteria or algae are programmed to do this and some huge plant is set up in the deserts of Ariz or N. Mex. or anywhere where there is abundant light, you could produce oceans of it.

We have this knowledge.

I am familiar with genetically engineered corn. What they did was to take the toxin that B.t. has (B.t. is the stomach flu of larvae (fatal flu) and move it into the corn genome. Now every cell of the corn, including the pollen grains, has a copy of this gene that makes this alpha-delta toxin. When the larvae eat it, the stomach of the larvae is ruptured. It takes them 3 days to die....Oh the humanity, oh the suffering....don't’ tell any liberal weenies about this....But they do die. They stop eating the corn. Main target is the corn borer, as an adult moth it flies from Texas to the corn belt on storm winds.

You can see this on radar!

So it is not a stretch to think that some large city and facility could be built around a production facility somewhere in the southwest.

Here’s a link on the algae.

It is nothing more than a biofuel for diesel engines that is some years out to be of practical use.

Seems like I remember an article a few years back about algae replacing gasoline. Probably buried in a folder somewhere at work.

Obviously, this has nothing to do with the current situation the country finds itself with respect to energy production.

O’BungHole and crew know this as well as anyone else that keeps up with emerging fuel technologies.

The useless press, as usual, claim ignorance and fail to do the simpliest of jobs, reporting the unbiased facts. Why even have a press?

Yet more lies and BS from this bunch as well as their enablers.

Wake up America....
