What's It All About, Algae?
I just saw one of
the most amazing videos and you'll find it at the bottom of this page.
It's about a company called Valcent which has recently developed a patented
method of growing algae.
Yes, algae.
It seems that green algae is about 50% oil, and is specifically the kind
of oil we can use to replace crude oil. The process uses very little
water (versus1700 gallons
of water per gallon of ethanol) and delivers thousands of times the output
per acre that corn would.
The final claim in the video, and I'm going to give it away because it's
just too cool, is that an algae-processing facility 1/10th the size of
New Mexico could suplly all of our country's oil needs.
It is, in a word, brilliance. So check the video out, share it with
friends and, perhaps, convince your congressmen to require government
vehicles to run on algae-based petrol.
It's a start.

John McCain Fun Fact:
Recently John McCain's top adviser, Charlie
Black, said that the assassination of Benazir Bhutto "helped" McCain
win the Republican nomination, and that another terrorist attack
against the U.S would
be a big advantage to him.
McCain responded, saying "I can't imagine why
he
would say it. It's not true...I strenuously disagree."
Uhhh, John?
Remember when you recently said the following to Roger Simon
of the Politico:
"My theme has been throughout this campaign that I am the
one with the experience, the knowledge and the judgment. So,
perhaps it (i.e., the turmoil caused by the assassination) may
serve to enhance those credentials."
Wuh-wo.
And so the Straight Talk Express collapses another bridge over
Foot In Mouth gorge.
