Ok . . . GM, you can shut down the Chevy Volt production line. US government, get your Fisker, Tesla and other loans back ASAP. Prius owners, wipe that smug expression off your face. Inventors have patented a process to turn algae in crude oil in a matter of minutes. At competitive costs. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/12/18/Scientists-Manufacture-Crude-Oil-The-End-of-Peak-Oil
Wait – it gets better. The inventors are .. (drumroll) . . the US Department of Energy. About time they did something other than inviting BP to besmirch the gulf of mexico.
Wait – it gets better still. As byproducts from the algae to oil process, you pure water, and phosphorus, which is an important fertilizer which can be used to boost the yield of the next algae crop.
Wait – it still gets better !!! The algae of consume massive quantities of carbon dioxide, essentially “cleansing” the atmosphere of Al Gore’s income stream. (full disclosure – burning the biofuel made from algae returns an equal amount to the atmosphere, but it’s a closed loop cycle, and the net amount of carbon never goes up.)
Windmills that decapitate millions of migrating birds annually? Shut ‘em down.
Exotic metal batteries that burst into flames and leech toxic materials into landfills – no longer needed.
Solar panels – you can stay for now. But we’re watching those reports on your toxic components too. (a little gallium arsenide, anyone?)
Of course, the whole process of growing algae is enhanced by . . . ahem . . warmer temperatures. So this might be ideally suited to the middle east, the american southwest, latin america, Africa, etc.
And maybe even Canada, if the global warming nutjobs are somehow right, and the last 15 years of non-temperature rise is just a pause, and sea levels are secretly massing for the final onslaught.
Anyway, I just thought you’d want to know about american ingenuity at its finest. Not that this will stop the Chinese and Russians from using the process without paying royalties. They’re the worlds ultimate hackers, spammers, counterfeiters, and thieves.
Ps – ethanol subsidies- we can cancel those too. Like yesterday!!
