Algae To Oil - Renewed Interests from 1980's Research

"Soybeans produce about 50 gallons of oil per acre per year, and canola produces about 130, he said. Algae, however, produces about 4,000 gallons per acre a year, and he predicted it will go far beyond that. " |
I am sorry. I have to put forth my sordid opinion.
We are heading into an age where most of the population of the world will be car owners. We all know by now that the oil wells will eventually dry up. Probably sooner than later. What comes next? Everyone has their own ideas. I have one of my own though. Why not go back to a more natural lifestyle? Scrap the cars. Dump the t.v.s Cut the heat and A/C. Realize that supermarkets were a short lived experiment. The world we know is something that was created within a couple centuries. It is a blip in the history of humans. Chances are, thousands of years from now, the only reminders we will have of our age will be crumbling buildings and highways. You can't grow forever. Limits are reached. You clear one hurdle and another appears. They eventually get to be too tall, and you falter, then fall. I question whether we really need new advances like algae biodiesel... Or maybe I am just in a bad mood today. |
We all have our place and time in the sun. Ours is fleeting on the timescale of eternity. Enjoy it while you're here and do the best you can.
And I hope you feel better soon. |

How green can we make our greed? I'm all for finding better ways to do things, but whenever I see someone selling bio-diesel equipment, or someone who is running their vehicle on veggie oil, it seems like they are driving something like an F250, simply because the fuel is cheap or free.

I'm planning on using waste veggie oil with an '84 Escort diesel... with smaller things to come?

By all means, please expand upon your definition of, and opposition to, 'breeders.' I'm interested. |
It's quite simple, anything more than 2 kids is more than replacement-level reproduction.

Pretty interesting seems like it would do well. I wonder how hard the process is to make the fuel.
