Revolutionary biodiesel discovery starts at Augsburg

The price of corn has reached and set all time highs, due to the demands of ETHANOL MADNESS..............I don’t blame the farmers for planting corn, every need is filled in an open market. But the laws of unintended consequences will not be broken! Higher corn prices also mean higher prices for EVERYTHING even remotely related to corn. Animal feeds, Beef, Pork, Poultry, Eggs, Milk, Cheese, Butter, Margarines, Corn oil and any other cooking oils, processed meats (hot dogs, bologna, etc.) and even leather goods. Then add all that to the higher fuel prices due to skyrocketing oils prices and we are in a spiral of higher prices that has no forseeable ending..................

we use more fuel to make plastic in what we buy in the stores than we use fuel in our autos

Nope.

Gasoline and Distillates (diesel and fuel oil) are 65% of our total petroleum use.

Petrochemical feedstocks are down around 3%.

I have heard stories on the radio saying, we use more fuel to make plastic in what we buy in the stores than we use fuel in our autos. Soon we have to get our priorities straight.

WRONG! Someone on the radio was blowing smoke.

Never gonna happen!

With politicians and such 'scientists' as Al Gore blabbing on and on, there will NEVER be a shortage of CO2.....

Hey, how about some Holidays - where all politicians have to keep their mouths closed... Could control global warming.

I couldn’t find a stock symbol for the main company - I figured if enough people just BELIEVED they could do it, I might turn a nickle or two. :-)

Hey, quite a bit of info on their homepage:

Would love to see the details on this.

Off hand though, permitting may be a problem. If this is a GMO (which it sounds like), few states will let you build a huge pond of genetically modified algae. The environmentalists will have a field day with this.

That, and I wonder what the byproducts will be. Still, very fascinating!

I can’t believe you actually believe CNN.

Thanks for the link. I found the following to be very revealing.

There are currently 225 rigs drilling for oil in North America, according to industry records. Twenty are drilling in the Sidney area and more are coming. Montana records show 13 oil companies drilling in the Bakken. "They're drilling (wells) as fast as 20 rigs can drill. We'll probably get 150 new wells a year at this rate, and there are very, very few dry holes," says Tom Richmond, administrator for Montana's Board of Oil and Gas Conservation.
