Re: Algae in smokestacks= Biodiesel?

these are the same people that blew the lid open some years ago on coal based oil refining--and nobody wants to believe it--because thy believe all the trash handed to them from oil co's over the years--though i dont agree with their theological stance-they do report the truth--good article--course said the elec co's will make even more profits than they do now--

Well I guess you say they recycle the carbon once before they release it it as a motor fuel. But hey anything that reduces the total carbon release.

Re: Algae in smokestacks= Biodiesel?

I'm all for recycling carbon, in my back yard we have many devices designed to remove carbon from the air and concentrate it in a sloid form. These devices are not timeless and every winter several of them fail. When this occours we subdivide them into pieces 1 foot long and 3-4 inches across, thus negating the need for fossile heat. Dang, I love me trees [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Re: Algae in smokestacks= Biodiesel?

I didn't intend to push any theological ideas, not a very religious man myself. Actually just found the link on fark.com and thought you guys who know tons more about biodiesel than me would find it interesting.

Re: Algae in smokestacks= Biodiesel?

I actually like the idea, I was just looking at it from another point of view in a positive way, ecen if it didn't sound that way.
