Admittedly shameless plug for my old school, but this algae stuff sounds pretty promising. Also note the involvement of New Belgium Brewing Co., from Fort Collins, and brewer of Fat Tire. Hmmm. Mix Fat Tire and the promise of getting the US off M.E. oil and throw in the old school and well, I have to post.

Of course, a gallon of gas is cheaper than a six of Fat Tire.

"solution to high gas prices" One key here is the taxes on it. Ever look at California's taxes? They don't tax gas or diesel.....they tax "fuel". No matter who comes up with what, they'll tax the hell out of it. We also need to get rid of the Fed's excise tax. No need for this tax any longer.

Sandia lab already has a program to work out the kinks on this technology. At this point, I think it is primarily genetic engineering they need. They need to come up with an algae strain that will grow here inexpensively, and will produce enough lipids to make it worthwhile. They are a long way from the goal, though, so if anyone says they are ready to commercialize it, they are probably trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes.
