  1. I question the scalability of this concept to make any real dent in oil consumption.


  2. Great concept…but it is light years away and to make it cost efficient will take another lifetime. No!


  3. Great idea! Let’s generate high grade bio-diesel from algae, save the corn and soya for selling to people and clean our municpal water systems all at the same time! I think we should start in a closed system in the southwest, where ultimately, I beleive it will be the best suited.


  4. Always Educational!
