They could kill 2 birds with one stone by using red algae that is responsible for killing off marine life by the millions. When it appears, scoop it up and transform it into bio-fuel. (Oh, wait. The deadly poison might kill the engine. Never mind.)

I have a pond with lots of scum and would be pleased to sell Mr. O as much has he wants. How about $100 a barrel.

Some strains of algae are virtual biochemical oil factories, so the idea has merit. The problem no one has been able to solve yet is how to grow millions of tons of algae essentially for free - that is, no input costs, no energy costs, and that it virtually harvests itself.

And she neglects to tell the other side of the corruption story - Renewable Energy Standards, whereby a state says “by year such-and-such, X percent of our fuels must come from renewable sources”. This is going on all over the place and it is nothing but a way of creating artificial demand for a product that cannot be profitably produces. In other words, the gummint is messing around on the supply side by declaring Algae the winner and giving incentives to produce it, and also on the demand side.

It’s totally corrupt and intellectually dishonest.

Let the free market pick the winners and demand will be real and supply will grow with private investment to meet it.

We all know that politicians are corrupt but this administration has to get the “OSCAR”.

Mr O is involved in another scam. Support the Saudis at America’s expense. America is in a recession and energy consumption has dropped. Globally? The other developed economies are suffering too. In the meanwhile the prices are running up.

Sure, Iran has been threatening to shut down the strait, but that is not new.

This new scam was initiated when Obama bowed down.

Pond scum? Algae? Obastard is the very definition of pond scum personified.

Watch, he will do like most politicians but much better. He will emerge FILTHY RICH from KICKBACKS and he is getting plenty. This administration will make Teapot Dome look paltry by comparison.

Are people, such as Wisconsin, finally getting fed up with having their very opportunity to make a living stomped on by communist liberals? When will the people who want opportunity finally rise up and crush the traitors in our country? IT IS TIME.

I never realized that when Pelosi said she was going to “drain the swamp” when she got elected Speaker in 2006 that she was setting up Obama’s 2012 Energy Policy.

That woman was forward thinking, even if she didn't have a clue of what the hell she was talking about.

Spot on Hosepipe!

I AGREE WITH THAT


 From the Kenyan only lies emit
 Our POTUS may not be legit
 He's all for one party rule
 And the media thinks that's cool
 So the real birth certificate he'll never remit

Zer0 knows that algae is a fraud. Everything he says is a sick, cynical lie.

I also think that the algae process deserves some research funding. I realize that not every project funded will pan out, but right now, it's impossible to get loans and private-start up equity funding isn't always the right fit.

As we are seeing, the problem are cronyism, insufficient numbers of qualified scientific people to review grant applications and far too much creative writing in grant applications.

I'm hoping that the economy will turn around and a variety of private funding for small projects will be available.
