Vorts,
The diode array is still available for development.
It is said that the Second Law of Thermodynamics forbids
devices that absorb heat while releasing electrical power
but I don't see how this general law actually has a real
ability to prevent diodes in the diode array from

Indeed. And Sir Arthur' suggested we learn how to eat oil instead of burning it.
Jed, was that succulent comment from Profiles From The Future?

Howdy Jones,
Just returned from a reunion meet for ex members of the state water planning
group where I listened to some interesting arguments for algae to bio-fuel
production from sewage plants. Never can happen because it would involve a
municipal public function and an atmosphere generated
--- Richard,
Yes, I agree with you that the political problems of
using existing sewage plants and ponds for Algoil
range from high-to-insurmountable. I got a cold
shoulder from a call placed to the local plant here,
which just happens to be perfectly sited for such a
dual use.
However, if
Howdy Jones,
We have an ideal site for an bio plant as you described. Alcoa-Rockdale ,
just northeast of Austin Texas. 60,000 acres, old lignite strip mine and
electricpower gen plant. Alcoa wants to decommission it.
By the looks of Alcoa performance on Wall St. Its surprising one of their

not a problem. If you have every seen a sliding-form

is NOT going to be airborne CO2, unfortunately, but
could be powdered lignite, or other subgrade of

You have just found
Jones, you are very clever but the main reason to look at Algoil biofuels
etc is to try to reduce the de-sequestration of fossil carbon. Using a
lignite source will just not cut the mustard! I know that some Americans are
getting excited about freeing themselves from the yoke of OPEC and, from

I agree 100%. The situation is not either/or.
CO2 should definitely be removed from the exhaust of
all existing fossil fired plants, and fed to algae-
there is no question about that.
