my motivation too

-----------
If Behl is telling the truth, that a 1acre pbr can be purchased for under $100k, then perhaps one day in the not-too-distant future, millions of algae farms will exist all over the planet in desolate lands where nothing else can be grown. All this algae could be providing bio-fuel, and helping to end world hunger while at the same time removing tons of CO2 from the environment. I would seriously consider starting an algae farm myself if BEHL turns out to be a real deal.

Like you, I'd really like to own and run one of these PBRs if it's actually economically possible to do so. If you listen to the interview with Dennis (and I recommend everyone who owns shares or is thinking about it should) you'll learn that he doesn't really like the fuel part. He thinks the food and health supplement angle is more interesting right now. Also, this doesn't really remove CO2 from the environment. More accurately, it recycles the CO2. As long as we are burning massive amounts of fossil fuel we are going to have a CO2 problem - it took millions of years to bind up all that CO2 in oil and coal and it's only taking us dozens of years to release it. A fuel cycle with Algae won't remove any of the CO2 but it will create a carbon neutral bind and release cycle.

Fish oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids, but the original source is algae, which are eaten by marine life such as copepods and are passed up the food chain.
