Yeah, it sure is a lot cheaper than coal gasification. And carbon neutral too. (sarc)
What amazes me is that these people actually go to school to learn this stuff. The biggest health problem in the US? Obesity. If our public school students can’t even learn that being fat is stupid, How do we expect them to get it right about economic energy production?
Why, that would be a great topic for a research grant.

DARPA is also funding research into coal-to-liquid fuels however that is probably an insurance technology and not likely to be the low cost winner, especially if CO2 emissions are counted as a cost. If DARPA succeeds in getting algae diesel down to $3/gallon in volume, our Middle East energy addiction nightmare is over.

Not sure why you added the “sarc" after carbon neutral. The consumption of fuel from algae is carbon neutral.
