Argument against high gas prices

Sugar grows really well in places like Louisiana. Corn, sugarcane, and other crops appear to be dwarfed by the energy delivered by a family of organisms dating back nearly 3.5 billion years: Algae. See: http://www.physorg.com/news89400502.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_content_of_Biofuel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algacul...sel_production "Microalgae have much faster growth-rates than terrestrial crops. The per unit area yield of oil from algae is estimated to be from between 5,000 to 20,000 gallons per acre, per year; this is 7 to 31 times greater than the next best crop, palm oil (635 gallons)." (From the Algaculture article.)
