The nice thing is that the process designed for a fossil fuel plant will work identically for a biodiesel fuel plant, so the technology will be here to last.
About the swimming pool sized pond, one must keep in mind that energy production will never exceed incident solar energy :) Michel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jones Beene" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "vortex" <vortex-l@eskimo.com> Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 1:52 AM Subject: [Vo]: Re:: 1998 "Biodiesel from algae" report There is a new video of this aspect of the Algoil process where the plant siting is done next to a fossil fuel plant: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8311441053618945507&q=algae+biodiesel I'm trying to find the details on a startup company which has supposedly found (or hybridized) an Algae species from Yellowstone Park (they patented it) which is rumored to grow so fast that a homeowner could make easily 100% of his own oil for both home-power and normal transportation use from a swimming pool sized pond. I don't like the idea of giving patents on algae - but certainly it would be hard to enforce anyway. Next -- <g>-- will be a species that you can grow for a few hours every day before the kids get to use the pool.
