Oh I understand photosynthesis. I also know that there is no way

to get even 1000 gallons of oil per acre in a 1 year period from algea.

For example: On Good soil, in a good year, one might get 40 - 50

bushels of soybeans/acre. At 60 lbs/bushel, and say 50 bushel to

the acre ,that would yield 3000 lbs of beans. Soyoil makes up

about 20% of the bean. So one might get 600lbs of oil/acre. At

approx 8 lbs to the gal that would make about 75 gal/acre of

soyoil which once refined would be even fewer gal/acre. Now if

you are telling me algea has the potential to yield more oil/acre

than soybeans, I would have to say you have been misinformed.

As for the algea taking Co2 from the atmosphere, the amount of Co2 per acre

converted would not match that which 10 people would

exhale in a years time. try to keep it real. Happy New Year
