Zero dollars sent overseas. The Chinese, Indians, and Europeans could then fight over the Middle East oil.
Is that any better?x704 said:Oil created from algae might be able to do that. An area 10% the size of New Mexico could supply all the transportation needs of the USA. What about Cost? It would be About $700B. After being implemented, that would then mean that Zero dollars would be sent overseas. The Chinese, Indians, and Europeans could then fight over the Middle East oil, because the USA would no longer have any vested interest in the region for resources.
:redface::tongue: lemme clarify.Sending $ overseas is how you got where you were. And in case you hadn't noticed, you are the ones fighting.
Otherwise, you have the situation covered.
So it would have been cheaper to get oil from algae instead of mineral oil, if a plan was put into effect.The July 1998 close out report from the program concluded that even with the most optimistic lipid yields the production of bio-diesel from algae would only become cost effective if petro-diesel prices rose to twice the 1998 levels. (October 2006 oil prices are three times higher than the average 1998 price in constant dollars.)

Scientific American is a liberal rag, man.
