Been pushing this for years.
Its makes much more sense. AND there is about about a 20% energy return vs a 7% loss with Ethanol.
And yes, I;ve gone through things and ONLY about 11,000 square miles of floodable land is needed to grow enough Algae to supply equivalent Bio Diesel to power the enitre us if all the cars/trucks were converted to diesel.
or 0.310959514% of the 3,537,438 square miles the US has.
Not much to have a REALLY good 100% renewable energy supply. And even better, it takes less energy to produce it.
