Charles Krauthammer responds to President Obama's suggestion that the U.S. turn to algae for energy production. After making his case, Krauthammer goes head-to-head with Washington Post columnist Charles Lane who defends Obama's energy policy.
"I was impressed by the president's analysis of this situation where we have no control over the global price of oil," Charles Krauthammer said. "We're dependent on oil from unfriendlies. And he says, as we heard, drilling for oil to relieve our dependency is not a solution, it's not a plan. He said we have to go to clean energy. He talks about something really revolutionary today. Algae. A $14 million grant for the development of algae. It's not oil. His solution is algae. And because we know that the Secretary of Energy is physicist that won the Nobel Prize, the president knowing this stuff said that one of the reasons we should do this is because we can grow algae here in the United States."
"Now, it happens that algae will grow on anywhere on earth. I looked it up while I was away for those three days. You thought I was sunning myself. I did research. It grows in oceans, in lakes and ponds, in your swimming pool when the pool man is on vacation. In snow, in ice, on soil, on turtles, on sloths, the bark of trees and rocks. Why are we drilling for oil? We are the Saudi Arabia of rocks. We have a mountain range called the Rockies and we are allowing ourselves to be dominated by these oil producers. I think he's on to something here that is truly revolutionary. Why would you build a pipeline, the Keystone pipeline with real oil from Canada to put in real refineries and put in real existing

If you read the article, Krauthammer is using some heavy sarcasm with it.
Amen Baby to that!
A compost pile.

Why doesn’t his Nobel Prize winning secretary tell him about big alge projects that were shut down last year.

Sarcasm.
Response from Gore, Al: “Gee!”
America, you elected a doofus!
When I read that for algae to grow like we want it to grow, it will take a tremendous amount of phosphorous, I get skeptical. Getting the quantity necessary to make it work will drive up the cost unless there is technology to recycle the phosphorous from spent algae organisms.
Does anyone remember strange reports from the Gulf Oil Spill??
I’m freaking out, because I remember a lot of weird things going on— there were strange reports coming out all the time. (Grand Isle, LA-arrests taking place, air space being closed over area so journalists couldn’t take photos, and people being terrified?)
Remember how people on foot couldn’t take photos and weren’t allowed in certain areas?
( I bookmarked many links at the time, but that computer crashed long ago.)
As God is my witness, I remember some local people talking about how “someone” was going to get rich, because, as the Gulf died, algae would grow and there was going to be $$$ in it for certain people. (”spooky dude”?)
Does any of this ring a bell with anyone else?
$14 algae grant!?!?!?!? Glad to see someone with tongue-in-cheek. Too bad, Obama’s serious
Charles Krauthammer calls out Obama after the won tries to bamboozle Washington Post columnist Charles Lane with a lame story of making gasoline out of algae.

They are actually trying it here in Southern New Mexico, they’ve been planning and building for about 3 yrs now.
Of course it was sarcasm. The previous poster is an idiot.
It absolutely was sarcasm.
