Algae Biofuel

What can replace fossil fuels in our motors? Algae Biofuel. I'm going to explain how this proven and renewable energy source, which we can grow in our own country, can solve some of the problems we face with energy, pollution, environment, health and economy. What's keeping us from growing our own fuels? Currently, we don't have the farms constructed to grow the algae and, fossil fuels have been cheap enough to keep us from converting. Now that petroleum fuel has lost some of its affordability,… Continue

A Few More Thoughts

I think it is evident that we are passionate about this matter. I would suggest that we do away with the hyperbole and try to discuss this. I know you have already read this but I would like to stress that the Pickens Plan is a "bridge" to the future. It can also change as we go through the process.

I've partnered with a Company having the technology in place for Net-Zero Carbon Footprint Waste Bioconversion & District Energy Systems. The sustainable BioConversion Platform converts multiple feed-stocks into clean fuel;… Continue

Ethanol Helps

Using E85 in Flex Fuel Vehicles will help reduce our dependency on foriegn oil.

Ethanol is NOT the panacea - and should not be placed in the frame that everyone in the US should use it.

Only midwestern communities near ethanol plants should use it.

But lets keep pushing for technological breakthroughs such as algae and switchgrass biomass.

Ethanol does NOT cause food prices to go up in any significant manner.

Hec, I want a hybrid E85/CNG… Continue
