Algae has been approved as the most viable form of biofuel...not corn. There is no environmental impact from growing algae In a greenhouse...much different then corn. We could easily produce a ridiculous amount of fuel with greenhouses in any part of America and fuel the entire country. The larger vehicles and machinery that run or country's economy run on diesel. Producing it ourselves with a cleaner source isnt an answer?
I don't think you could ever produce enough biofuels to make a difference.
So....if we could produce enough biofuel for the entire country with a small footprint, reduce emissions by 80%, and produce it domestically; thus, putting money in Ameriucan pockets and not overseas you would not support that? I find it hard to see the problem with that.... Save money, save the horrid air, keep $$$ domestic, increase GDP (which we need given Obama increasing our debt over the GDP), and work towards independance from oil... I just wish our politicians had the balls to actually "change." America could be on top in 2-3 years easily and dominate the world market if they combined measures such as this and actually drilled for the oil we have in the US.

The key word being "if". If any of the known biofuels were economically feasible, Exxon would stop drilling for oil tomorrow. Can you imagine the size of the footprint you are speaking about? As it is now, millions of acres that would normally produce food, are now making corn, and food prices are going up. Also, this is a good time to talk about the other elephant. Drought. How do you get around that. Oil is in the ground. All you have to do is get it.

I think he's saying it isn't possible with the current technology. It's a neat thought but it just isn't there yet.

Then he should say that...because the technology is there. I've waited to post anything on this...I've written several dissertations with tons of peer reviewed evidence. I live in one of the Oil capitals of CA, we've already converted one refinery to corn. Algae is a piece of cake...and our "change" leader even gave a few million to algae, as it is the only fuel that the technology exists to do so effeciently. Corn is not the solution by any means... I laughed when I heard Obama tossed some chump change, if he had balls, he'd toss a few billion, but the 1% he hate sin public, he bows to in private. I believe we should drill in the US and there is plenty of oil here. Alaska, MT, CO, etc..., has plenty of oil for our country but the tree huggers don't want to *** on our country...yet don;t mind if we do elsewhere. Half the people I know work in oil or the geology behind it, I don't want them to loose their jobs. But I also know the technology exits to start producing biofuel on a grand scale and move towards freedom. Our GDP is over the debt...it's time to produce and move forward with a technological revolution we can export. Fuel is just one of them.

It can.... Without corn... We are not talking millions of acres. Here's an example.... The technology has existed for a while now.

1 acre=20k gallons. 1/10th the size of New Mexico could produce enough Fuel for the country. This has been approved by the US. This technology is not new, what would happen if we took say....1 billion dollars and invested in this? What about 100 billion? My guess....you'd see a lot of positive change in this country.... We ned to promote technology and production in America again.

"tree huggers"... yeah some of them are nuts but they do make a point. Nice thing is since tree huggers went on and on about trees being cut down, we have more trees now than ever b4. About the Algae, I think it's a great idea and the more forms of fuel or energy the better. We as a world not only a country need to get off of toxic forms of energy. BTW the obama admin tried to push more money towards alt energy but a lot of that got cut cuz it wouldn't pass.

Sorry, but I don't buy into Obama's clean energy push. That's a different debate all together, and I do not want to get into that. I support more drilling in the US, and I support prodcution of biofuel.

shhh, don't want the oil companies to know about this.
They already know about it. One of the biggest producers locally went bankrupt (Flying J), then the plant got bought out and the new owners used it for corn biofuel production.
As i was reading this, i think both sides are right in their own perspective. We need oil and we need to find alternative fuels. Until alternative fuels are developed, hell, i will just keep paying four bucks a gallon, and use my torch ligter to fire up my smokes. We should not worry about a lot of things that are really out of our control. If someone from either side wants to do something for their cause, go to school and invent a cleaner fuel.
