@Jacobrester I totally agree. It would even be better for all the countries possible, to be energy independent. And I think it would also realize a slightly more peacefull world, since trade woudn't be based on "who sits on the resources" anymore.Knowledge and service will be the new markets.

Lets just take global warming out of the equation and focus on gettint the USA energy independent.....Al Gore and his environmental wackies have been exposed

You are right, I should have said man made global warming. Even global warming in general exists, but the trends point towards cooling and not warming, which is why Al Gore and the hoax people changed it to "climate change". The biggest thing is that Al Gore and the others aren't practicing what they preach. Al Gore recommends his followers take public transportation to cut down on emissions, yet he flies in a Gulfstream II, one of the worst poluting private jets ever.

Very inspiring presentation for everybody who is working in the biofuel branch! Its focussing on the biological components, environmental impacts and economical chances which algae concepts are offering with the background of climate change. Impressive were to me the big algae ponds, which already exist in Hawaii. I liked it a lot, thank you for this presentation!

excellent work!

what grounds? How about he thousands of emails about date manipulation that have come out recently, or the fact that the world has been cooling every year since 1998, or the fact that the polar ice caps grew 30% larger over the last year, or that the polar ice caps are larger now than in 1979 when the same people claimed we were going into another ice age. I think algae biofuels are a great idea and hope it gets developed further, but the idea of global warming is such a stupid one.

on what grounds?

While I like the idea of algae for many reasons like the incredible amount of oil you can extract per acre, and the fact that we can reduce our foriegn oil consumtion, I still think global warming is a massive hoax.
