A crude awakening: the oil crash

  1. So as far as I understand, a single company named "Sapphire energy" claims that they found a way to make algae produce "green crude". Even though it is known that algae produces either oxygen, either hydrogen. I was unable to find no sources with scientific explanation or numbers. All I found were advertisements and hype. Can you provide links to sources?

  3. Wow, great article!

    And I almost laughed out loud when I read,

    "Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the nation intends to "defend" its sovereignty in the Arctic"

    How does Canada intend to do this?

    I am not in favor of any invasion of any kind, but I'm just curious...

  4. i think they grow algae and then extract the organic stuff (lipids etc.) from them. from that organic stuff the biofuel is made.

  5. .. and the algae suck in the CO2 that will eventually be burned by the oil.

  6. They have this pretty tough mixed martial arts guy - George St. Pierre.

    If anyone invades, they are counting on him to kick their ass.

    That seems to be the plan. At least for now ...
