algae Bio-Fuel

I guess I'm from Missouri, It doesn't matter which company thinks they are close or which we think is close. What matters is who will actually make the new algae bio-fuel and when.
Lab work and discoveries are encouraging but lets see the results available to the public are resonable cost.

Why do this?

Jstack6, above, is right. What really matters is who delivers. But we occasionally use these polls to take temperature readings of what the industry thinks right now.

We plan to incorporate the results of this particular poll into our forthcoming webinar on biofuel from algae to illustrate perception today versus the reality being delivered today.

Algae Bio-Fuel

Let's solve the issue at hand, Algae has been found to be very productive in producing Oil.

But, in order to be productive and come out with something that won't break every other day. Research into the marketing of such equipment and facilities basic support to handle the flow of Algae into profitability must be finalized. You don't like buying something from Circuit City and taking it home only to find out it is so fragile it won't operate without immediately replacing the item at the store over and over again. Sounds like the Lemon Laws in Automobiles, the same issue is staring us in the face. We want to build a sturdy well built robust operation that will last 3 to 20 years with out breaking.

It is not as easy as some people hope but, the science behind the development of the algae to oil is coming along nicely. GreenFuels is the most visual to the publics perception, so they seem to be the forerunner in getting the algae to oil out to the public, Oops Wrong. They unfortunately did not see that growing algae and harvesting algae was not going to be the clincher in producing the maximum output. They missed the KEY part of the exercise, It is not the algae strain it is the recipe on how you grow the algae that is the KEY to the Algae to Oil revolution. I suppose you place the KEY element in the Out of Box Thinkers who figured all this out. I suppose it would infuriate all those involved to know that you can actually produce similar outputs to 20 strains not just one, Ouch.
