I almost didn't post this here because it probably won't cause enough disagreement, but WTH. :twisted:

10,000 gallons an acre of oil.. I would imagine that would be a year...That is what, close to 240 42 gallon barrels per acre... Interesting...

Enough biodiesel to replace all petroleum transportation fuels could be grown in 15,000 square miles, or roughly 12.5 percent of the area of the Sonora desert (note for clarification - I am not advocating putting 15,000 square miles of algae ponds in the Sonora desert. This hypothetical example is used strictly for the purpose of showing the scale of land required). That 15,000 square miles works out to roughly 9.5 million acres - far less than the 450 million acres currently used for crop farming in the US, and the over 500 million acres used as grazing land for farm animals.

Just another interesting way to stick it to oil rich countries and the the terrorists that some how get supported by thier oil profits :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

but watch how the enviromentalists stop this and any other project aimed at energy indepandance... :roll: :roll:
