Frosty I see you edited out your question as to why they havent been building new nuclear plants in the US for year. I guess you realized what a lame
question that was and cut it out. Gee maybe it had something to do with a few little events like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl along with the
public blacklash that followed.
And simply, spending billions of government dollars does not garuntee a thing. Nor do tax breaks. Nothing is garunteed. The government is not a magic
godfairry.
I never said that thats all you. But Tax Cuts and Providing Tax Incentives are proven ways to increase the profits of any company. Its not a hard
concept to grasp.
Weather plays a huge role in energy production, Why do people need energy in the first place? Here is one: to heat their homes. Why are oil and other
energy resource prices so high sometimes and why do they spike higher at other times
Weather has a huge role in energy demand not production. Thats why prices go up during the winter because demand is higher then production. There is
no vast upgrade in production during the winter. Oil companies use the increase demand to rake in the money not increase production to put the product
out cheaper to the people.
Big Oil is a cabal that manipulates oil prices to make themselves rich not increase production to give people cheaper oil during the winter.
And because 'water can be pumped everywhere' does not mean water can be pumped everywhere at a minimal cost. A desert? What desert?
This stuff can even be grown out at sea really most anywhere. I suggested deserts because in the US there is hundreds of thousands of square miles of
the stuff on the cheap and are great sources for sunlight most of the year.
What happens if you need an area the size of Rhode Island to run an operation jsut to produce enough fuel to provide energy to 1/10 of the nation?
What in the hell are the taxes going to be on that place? How much will it cost?
Your just making up stats. Beachcoma clearly showed "To displace gasoline use in the US would take hydrogen farms covering about 25,000 square
kilometres." To put that in perspective, that's less than a tenth of what the US devotes to growing soya.
Thats with the current strains. People havent even known algae could do this for that long and have spent even less time trying to increase hydrogen
production, and have already increased the production rate vastly and claim to be nowhere how far it can go.
Yes, but you grow pond scum in a pond, and as you say 'in a closed structure'. Farmers grow crops in top soil, not crops in greenhouses.
Pond scum or Algae grows in any standing water its like a weed trying to not grow its the hard part. If you have a fishtank just stop tending it for a
few days and see what happens.
How fast does this scum reproduce?
Well lets see its the fastest growing photosynthesizing organisms.

The idea just sounds silly, and everyone knows why these ideas aren't being built upon: You haven't convinced anybody. Make a convincing argument,
and maybe someone will fund your research just to estimate the cost of a major operation. Even then, one report probably will not suffice.
Um but your wrong because people are pouring money into this research trying to increase the Hydrogen production of he algae. They havent even been
doing it that long and already have impressive results. As has been stated in this thread already the production hasnt been increased enough to be
profitable yet.
Oil is getting more expensive all the time too so it just makes their work easier.
Many of these ideas just sound like magic, pure and simple.
You know you ask aot of questions about this tech and research that are answered in this thread or in the links given. Perhaps you should educate
yourself on the subject before you shoot it down as "Magic"
