Good news everybody.
But I do have a few questions:
1. What are the resource requirements and energy inputs into growing the algae?
2. What are the resource requirements and energy inputs into reacting the algae into oil?
3. Does the energy output from burning the oil exceed the energy inputs into the total process?
4. Is the growth and reaction processes expandable and sustainable?
5. Are there any undesirable byproducts of the growth and reactions processes?
That is all.
My question is:
How much does it cost?
If its going to be cheaper per gallon, great. If its going to cost more per gallon, it is not worth doing.
It is going to have to be significantly cheaper per gallon to be worth investing in all the infrastructure that it would need.
