But then you have to sequester the algae or the carbon is back in the above

Cheaper to leave the carbon underground in the first place.

Huh! That must be the source for the Thomas Jefferson quote, which I'll
have to paraphrase:
He who would sacrifice liberty for security will have neither.
Jefferson, for some of those patriots who might need to know, wrote the
Declaration of Independence.

Hi Y'all,
Say, if you are having bad results, remember these tips:
1. TRY to get the same type of oil from the same source. IF you
cannot, then remember to throughly mix the raw waste oil so that you
can accuratly measure the PH of the WHOLE batch
2. MAKE SURE your methanol is 99.5 pure
