Making Fuel From Algae

This is an amazing article on Making Fuel from Algae.

This process takes the Carbon Dioxide generated by power plants and “grows” fuel via algae.

The man who perfected the process is an Israeli who was saddened that terrorists were invading his homeland and they were financed by petrodollars.

He equates this development to the human transformation that occurs when a society moves from being “hunter-gatherers” to “farmers”. Instead of “scavenging” for oil, now, he believes, his process would let people “grow” crude oil ultimately.

From an installation of one square kilometer we are now producing five million liters of green fuel a year. After the technology was demonstrated at MIT, the next stage was to take it to a real power plant. 

This is a process that does not compete for land and water resources - algae can grow in saltwater and in sewage.

As soon as one energy farm proves itself economically - and that will happen within a year and a half - we will be able to establish similar farms all over the world. If an energy revolution of this kind occurs in China, it will foment a strategic change in the division of the political forces on a global scale. A world in which China will not be dependent on Iran will be a different world. Some countries will lose part of their power. The message is one of energy freedom. If you have land, sun and CO2, you can grow your own energy. A revolution like this will make the world free.

Suddenly the smokestacks from powerplants are now just another profit center.

The quality of fuel produced equals or exceeds any other “biofuel” without the impact on the environment or the food supply.

And it may even allow energy independence from “foreign oil”… Tell T. Boone Pickens!
