The biggest idiocy on oil comes from Obama’s pronouncement on algae being the solution to high gas prices. We have oil, oil shale and natural gas in abundance in this country and with proven and decades old technologies can extract and use this oil, so why do we need to spend years of research and countless billions in taxpayer money to develop oil from algae that might easily prove to be impractical on any commercial scale? This algae thing from Obama is likely tied to some supporter who wants to gets millions of taxpayer dollars on some phony scheme just like Solyndra.

The New Obamamobile..fueled by algae and coming to a Pond Scum Dealer near you. Let's hope it doesnt disturb the habitat of the endangered mosquito or albino frogs

...so why do we need to spend years of research and countless billions in taxpayer money to develop oil from algae that might easily prove to be impractical on any commercial scale?

'Cause the oil industry isn't about to feed them a dime in taxpayer funded kickbacks.

All that other crap makes the perfect shell for money laundering, because it is doomed to fail.
