IMO, algae oil looks the most promising. At least our gas tanks wouldn't be competing with out stomachs. Algae farms can be set up anywhere, even in the middle of the dessert as long as fresh water can be pumped in. Additionally, I read that one acre of algae oil production can yield 100,000 gallons of fuel per year. Also, algae can be bio-tweaked to yield different classes of fuels...

Well, let's calculate this and see. Deepwate Horizon blew on April 20th, so it has been spewing, according to estimates, a minimum of about 4500 barrels of HC's per day...minimum. Therefore, as of today, 31 days into May plus the last ten in April starting on the 20th brings us to a total of 41 days at 4500 bpd. Let's convert that to gallons...

(4500 barrels HC's/day)* (55 gallons HC's/barrel HC's) * (41 days) = 10,157,500 gallons of dirty HC minimum as of May 31st 2010.

Some estimates with respect to bpd are much higher than that, but there is much debate about that subject...The 15 to 70 million gallons mentioned above is not unreasonable IMO because the 4500 bpd figure is from BP. Hmmmmm, no pressure to use conservative numbers there huh?

Just FYI...You breathe it every time you fill up your car with gas.

here is a link to the MSDS

My hat is off to anybody to works on or has worked on a deep-water rig. I have spent the last ten working heavily with the products produced in the nat gas and petro chem industries. I have a whole new respect for the guys that tap this stuff and bring it to us to use.

In addition to meat, throw some veggies on there. Squash, Eggplant, etc...Slice the squash down it's length into two pieces and the eggplant into thick slices. Oil and season heavily... :cheers:

Well, at least they picked a kid with a little more muscle this time.

Arizona State...impressive...:)

Fried fillet is to be used for this dish all over a bed of rice...fantastique!

I had something similar a couple of years ago. It was a three level bullet smoker with a water pan. I would lite up hot coals in my chimney starter pour them in the bottom, add some wet wood chips to the top and smoke every meat I could get my hands on and just make an afternoon of it with friends. Some of the best times. You have inspired me to buy another one... :cheers:

Schwartzeneggar and Stallone have picked horrible roles ever since Predator and Rambo respectively. I mean come on, Kindergarden Cop? Cliffhangar? The list goes on ad on.
