However, just as with power diesels here in America the numbers don’t crunch when looking at the overall use. It’s just a proof of concept thing.

Why there is so much resistance to the idea of producing jet fuel from algal oil is a mystery to me. We have the capacity to grow enough algae to produce all of the jet fuel that we need but also all of the “oil” that we need. The added benefit is that it would be carbon neutral.

The time for abandoning fossil oil is NOW but that time is running out rapidly. The world needs to wake up on the energy issue, not just a few concerned companies and individuals.
