And maybe what we ought to do at
Newt.org is we ought to get t-shirts that say You choose. Gingrich went on to suggest the slogans, You have Newt: Drill here, Drill Now, Pay Less. You have Obama: Have Algae, Pay More, Be Weird.
Newt Gingrich for President Ping!

Does this mean that Obama’s new nickname is “Weird Algae”?

Same as Solyndra, all over again —some of the bigger outfits doing the research are big Obama contributors. They’re making the Navy buy this fuel, which is maybe 700% as expensive as the genuine stuff.
The US Navy is about to —or just did— do a whole exercise just off of this algae fuel.
Most of the outfits doing the research are just south of San Francisco, and in Silicon Valley.
This is just money-laundering, basically.

>>the president said, Were making new investments in the development of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel thats actually made from a plant-like substance known as algae.<<
And, there are enough Obama bots to believe that BS.

I’m positive SNL will do a skit on this! (rolling eyes)
To: Red Steel
Algae is a photosynthesizing plant, and like plants, it needs phosphate. That usually comes from phosphate rock.
Hint: The LIE in the woodpile is when Bammy tells us we can grow enough algae to fuel America. We have not got that much phosphate and still have enough to grow food.
Another LIE from the Long Legged Mack Daddy of Lies.

This is just money-laundering, basically.I'll bet their cronies got into the business about 3 years ago.

The process for converting algae to fuel has actually been demonstrated to work.
It’s not, however, available on a large scale.
Trying to get along without pumping crude oil out of the ground here in the short term is idiotic.

In theory algae oil should work and does work in small very controlled environments. Trying to control the size of plants needed to make large scale algae oil work may take many years to engineer and perfect as to be commercially viable.

Well, there is that spirulina stuff, so after we make ourselves some gas, we can eat the leftovers.
