From their estimate, $308 billion USD (under 1/2 of the stimulus money) could build enough ponds to stop America from drilling for oil ever again, by producing approximately 140 billion gallons of biodiesel a year. Maintenance costs for upkeeping such a system would be apporximately $50 billion a year, or $0.33c per gallon. That'd make gas prices go down a bit, no? |
Thats pretty cool stuff, I hope it picks up. It would definately be a lot better than ethanol from corn.
