Answer 1

Growing algae to get algaeoil from which biodiesel is made will be the way the USA moves forward for it's future diesel motor fuel needs. Algae grows more biomass faster than any other plant species. Because it is a single-celled plant, all it needs besides water & sunlight are a few nutrient salts to double their mass multiple times per day. That doesn't sound like much. Until you realize that if you start with just one, and double it twenty one times, your result is over a million. That could be pounds, or kilos, or barrels of fuel, the units of measurement are irrelevant. They are determined by the scale the production is built on. It pays to think BIG.

Using food crops or croplands to produce transportation energy isn't just unwise, it's flat feeble-minded. Farming

crops for transportation will only speed up the rate at which the rain forests are being decimated in South America, cause farmers to not allow their fields to rest for one season out of how many for short term gain, the chance that there would be a "transportation induced famine" somewhere on Earth goes to 100%. There is no excuse for using food  for transportation when anyone is hungry anywhere.

For the USA, I believe algae can make us OPECker-free! I'm working with the Virgin Green Fund to prove it.
