AIUI the algae is used to convert waste organic matter into oil. Do you
see
the human race ceasing to produce waste organic matter any time soon?

No what I see is that such a process is still unproven, especially in
sufficient quantities to meet current energy needs.

Anyone who wanted to could go out tomorrow and start building a production
plant that would produce oil from algae. What is needed now is further
development, to make anybody want to at today's oil prices. That means it is
an undeveloped process, but it is not an unproven one.

It can only be proven by widespread use with an eye to pollution,
conversion efficiency and long-term viability such as sustainability
of algae. We wouldn't want to see algae going the same way as other
species we threaten would we.

You really haven't got a clue, have you Gollum? I thought this
morning that Sarah Palin had pulled ahead of you in the "brainless
dumb turd" stakes:

but congratulations, you've seized the trophy back with this latest
one.
