The non-thinking stupidity of liberal-think.
An innovative process that starts with an algae slurry efficiently
produces crude oil in less than an hour, researchers say. The biocrude oil can then be refined conventionally into gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory engineers say their method is a continuous process that beats previous attempts to harness algae as fuel. They say their work has led to a cheaper and less energy intensive technique. It also results in a wastewater stream from which flammable gas can be recovered and nutrients that can grow more algae. "Cost is the big roadblock for algae-based fuel," said lead researcher Douglas Elliott in a statement. “We believe that the process we’ve created will help make algae biofuels much more economical.” http://txchnologist.com/post/7265779...-crude-oil-in- one-hour Comments: Mavi Macfarln • 8 days ago Fantastic!...But The quickest least expensive alternative is to just buy a Electric car!..Ive bought a Nissan Leaf for -0- down and $199/mo on a 24/mo lease, I was sending $250-$300/mo on gas, so the first Day I Was Saving Money, and producing -0- Omissions..thats the best reward! NO Omissions into the air, helping to turn around 80 years of damage to our planet by the countries using gas combustible engines. We currently only have 1 fort to live in...thank you - Mavi founder of www.skipthetrip.com 3 3 •Reply•Share › Avatar Steve Tirrell Mavi Macfarln • 7 days ago Mavi, you have one huge omission and that is the production and cost of electricity. You do have emissions, but they aren't coming from you, they are coming from the electric generation plant which most likely burns coal or natural gas. Also, you need to add in the cost increase of your electric bill when looking at your savings. It drives me nuts when people fail to look at the whole picture. 20 •Reply•Share › Avatar Christian J Heinbockel Steve Tirrell • 7 days ago Try 2 huge omissions! The electrical generation & the smelting of lead for that battery, that is pollution on a large scale. There is no free lunch, we just keeping moving the problem to some other place. 17 •Reply•Share › Avatar JB Christian J Heinbockel • 2 days ago To a centralized location where they can be controlled more effectively. Instead of thousands of tailpipes with precious metals and ceramics inside... How many people work for the oil company on this board? 1 •Reply•Share › Avatar William Carr JB • a day ago I’m getting a strong Koch vibe... From people that don’t know electric cars run on Lithium, or insist that petroleum is environmentally friendly and renewable... 1 •Reply•Share › Avatar Skeeter McClusky William Carr • 5 hours ago And lithium batteries are so environmentally safe and economical...NOT!!!! •Reply•Share › Avatar William Carr Christian J Heinbockel • a day ago Electrical generation can come from a myriad of sources... And electric cars don’t use lead batteries. Although some have a regular 12v battery to run the radio and dash lights. Meanwhile, the last virgin lead smelter in America closed down recently. Everything else is recycled lead, including bullets. •Reply•Share › Avatar Christian J Heinbockel William Carr • 6 hours ago They haven't stopped making lead, they stopped lead production for bullets. Tree huggers think this is the answer to removing lead from the environment. I used to shoot competitive skeet and every 2 yrs down range the lead would be harvested for recycling. Canada produces lead, ask NASA, the area around the plant is so despoiled they test moon & Mars rovers there. Until someone comes up with a cheap method of storing elec. from solar e- cars are going to require fossil fueled energy. There is a + in that because you can't just shut down any steam producing plant, they have to run even without demand because it takes so long to bring heat back to operating levels. Why should e-cars get tax breaks? They still require an outside source for energy and they don't pay their share in road maintenance. This is why the idea of mileage based taxes keeps rearing it's ugly head. The same people who rant about the NSA are going to be telling the gov't everywhere they go. Ronald Reagan "The worst words to hear: I'm from the gov't and I'm here to help you." When they try to regulate anything it's like pulling on a spider web, there are so many interfaces you couldn't possibly consider them all and someplace just like the "Lady & the Tiger" that big ugly spider waits. see more •Reply•Share › Avatar pateriot Mavi Macfarln • 7 days ago Were does the electricity you use in your car come from? If you're like most of the country it comes from Coal Burning plants. So... you probably have a coal burning car that pollutes the environment worse than your gas guzzler did... but at least you feel better about yourself! 9 •Reply•Share › Avatar William Carr pateriot • a day ago You didn’t get the memo that electricity from coal plants is down to 38% ? Electric cars are running of nuclear power, natural gas and wind power now. •Reply•Share › Avatar Christian J Heinbockel William Carr • 6 hours ago Exactly 1 nuclear plant has been approved for construction in the last 10 yrs, e-wind would require storage methods that currently don't exist and NG production has all the environmentalist telling all sorts of lies about burning tap water. Texas A&M just released a report correcting an earlier report and now says they overestimated the release to the atmosphere of harmful chemicals used in NG production by 1/2. Anybody read it in the news - NO! Another study was just done that says the chemicals used in fracking are hazardous to people but in the last paragraph they admit nobody has ever been exposed to these chemicals so it's all just theory cloaked as science. Why not do the entire periodic table if the gov't (u & I) will pay for it? •Reply•Share › Avatar kevinh1 Mavi Macfarln • 8 days ago Come up with an electric vehicle that can match the range and operating costs of gasoline powered ones and you won't need to spam sites like this one. |
