Default Algae used to power cars

There is no conversion needed to run a Diesel engine on bio fuels.
There are people now running on waste oil from the golden arches
french fryer. It is actually better for the engine than petroleum
based fuel. Only drawback is the people driving behind you suddenly
crave Mickey D's.
I can see it now....... 2010 ........ optional UV sterilizer for
your fuel tank. They would make them standard equipment but some hard
core folks insist on veggie filters instead. ;-}

That article sounds too good to be true. Any one here analyzes

that
article and come up with a rebuttal?


With any fuel source there are pro's and con's, and I don't think

we've
found a panacea just yet. Even Hydrogen, when you factor in the

associated
costs of manufacturing, transportation, storage, etc. does not yet

compete
with gasoline, and will not clean up the environment over night.

The biofuels group has been around for awhile. There is stuff all

over
google about it. In my experience, the biggest problem with it is

the cost
of converting an existing engine.
