Obama (emphasis mine):
“We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance, algae — you’ve got a bunch of algae out here,” Obama said at the University of Miami [yesterday]. “If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we’ll be doing all right. Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17 percent of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in America.”
I’ve been watching this for years – and just like cellulosic ethanol, it doesn’t scale up right now either. My take on this: a smelly mess that, once again, Obama either has no clue or is trying to fulfill the monniker “the Magic Obama”. But I’ll tell you, for us all to gas up the jalopy, his magic incantations had better be stronger than Voldemort’s…Oh wait!
