Spanish scientists search for fuel of the future





Interesting. Even algae are still limited by the 2nd law of thermodynamics, as to how much energy you can capture.

Even so, once you start getting a few hundred square miles of bio-reactors, you are talking about some serious amounts of fuel.

At least it's better than making ethanol from corn.

100-plus mpg vehicles are possible but many carmakers need technical help

The Department of Energy’s $25 billion fuel-efficiency program has helped create a new generation of fuel-efficient hybrid and electric vehicles, but has struggled to provide engineering expertise to auto manufacturers working with new and complex technologies.

Yup. Foolish and inefficient.

Ethanol subsidies are among the worst of the worst when it comes to government waste, IMO.

He better start supporting ethanol now, or I'm going to have to.
