Well, if it were al we had it would certainly be made to work. Hell, f

I only mention it because it calls into question the rest
of his article in my mind. If half of what he says about algae based
diesel is true, though, it sounds very promising.
In any case, there are a number of potential sources of fuels that

recently become cheaper options than petro-chemical fuels. All it

now is a little education and a little will to get moving on them.

Yes, and the removal of oil men from high office in the U. S.

That would go hand in hand with education!
