Companies like that exist for one reason and one reason only, to gather up and spend gubmint money.
He told me the bio-fuel they were producing cost about $22 a gallon to produce but if the gubmint gives them enough gazillions they'll be able to ramp up and get it down into the $15/gallon range.
What a deal!

Oh one other thing, the pollutants they create to refine that algae into fuel are more than would be created by the conventional fuel they are trying to replace. So much for green energy.

Let's keep the facts out of this. Green isn't about feasibility, return on investment, or science.......it's about how it makes you FEEL.
