The two references below are to a solar panel company called Joule Solar Energy. The company in the article above is a biofuel company specializing in bacteria that convert sunlight water and carbon dioxide to biofuels. The company is called Joule Unlimited. Their website is at http://www.jouleunlimited.com/

Joule Solar Energy wants homeowners to know that 2015 tax credits are available for solar power system installations. Joule is the leading solar power expert in Louisiana.

While the amount of solar subsidies available varies by state, a combination of federal and state tax credits for homes in Louisiana covers up to 80 percent of the cost, according to Joule’s website. Ultimately, these incentives make solar power less expensive than power from the utility company.

Servicing the Lafayette and surrounding areas of Louisiana, Joule estimates a $25,000 solar panel system can be offset so that the homeowner is left with a final cost around $5,000.

Wonder what those “nutrients” are gonna cost per gallon of fuel produced and how much engergy inputs to make/harvest those “nutrients”.
...........
Good question but you have to figure that the cost of the nutrients is figured into the final cost of $1.10@ gallon.
