Ever hear of the algae to diesel project? started under the Carter administration, still going even tho its budget was cut by Reagan. Looks promising..
There was other research as well, perhaps you could google it.
I would like to school you on energy issues, but if I do it for you, I will have to do it for all the others..:2wave:
There is an even better technology on the horizon. In 2008, scientists genetically modified a bacterium so that it eats garbage and craps out oil. This is not science fiction. Once the technology is further developed, an area the size of Chicago could create enough oil to run the entire transportation infrastructure, and would permanently end our dependence on foreign oil. Imagine how our trade balance would be affected if we did not need to import a single barrel of oil. This development is HUGE. If we can do this, then we can tell OPEC nations to go eat their oil, as we would have THEM over a barrel - A barrel of food.
