I have a 1/6th acre, but would have to tear down my house for planting.

You may not have to tear your house down for this process. It looks like the growing tubes could be on the roof. You are on the right track. Having a home unit would be perfect. No government taxing me for each gallon of gasoline.

Valcent Products says they could yield 100,000/acre of diesel fuel from their little green organisms.

How many gallons of gas do you use a year? take that and divide it into the gallons per acre and that would give you how much space you’d need. I can not imagine what could be grown to give that kind of return per acre 20,000 gallons. I have the book Alchole can be a gas and they do not have anything that has that large of a return and that includes giant sweet beets that weigh around 100 pounds each.
