Lets face it, for the foreseeable future, the U.S. and all developed nations will continue to use fossil fuels. This technology can replace what is extracted and shipped and refined from the ground. This can reduce, and potentially eliminate dependence on foreign resources while supplying our economies with the fuels that are used in our vehicles today. No modifications required to the auto, shipping, or airline industry are needed nor required. While researchers explore even "greener" energy options, this "green-oil" can be the bridge to help get us there. Fossil based fuels are being depleted every day and thus far no viable alternative has come online in great numbers. Want a hybrid car, buy one if you've got the means. Oh, can't trade in that SUV, well too bad for you. Bio-diesel and Ethanol destroy our planet faster but using huge amounts of farmland, enormous amounts of fresh water and an incalculable amount of energy. This is the future!

This is fascinating. I'm looking forward to watching where this goes, and will pass the word along to all the readers on our website as well: wisengreener.com A friend had just told me last night about this idea of a new crude oil being generated from algae.

Thank you for passing on the info. This is wonderful to read, I was just saying to

It's dirty, i'ts toxic and it's unnecessary, whether it's renewable or not. Yes this tech would probably reduced global warming but would do nothing for toxic air pollution and it WILL be owned by big business if not shortly by big oil. If it has a chemical structure similar to gasoline it will have similar exhaust composition." Despite media myths, ethanol is still the best choice for our future. WE can control its manufacture. That's what scares Big Oil and their allies. Why this is a bad idea, from David Blume
