The technology is getting boosted by the Pentagon. They are looking to try to make jet fuel from this stuff.

Yes it is...much more environmentally friendly than ethanol too.

Big Oil goes green. Wow.

Ssssshhhhh! Shell also has several big wind farm projects and solar subsidiaries, but we're keeping that on the down low. We don't want to tarnish our reputation as being "Big Oil".

ohhhh snap i got it now. we can increase ethanol production, thus leading to more fertilizer runoff into the gulf, which will then cause algae blooms, which we can then turn into diesel, which will then power a rf device, which will then split bur seawater, which will then be used to power supertankers, which can then transport cheap oil to our refineries.

seriously, algae into diesel is pretty cool.

This looks interesting.

Ethanol is horrible.
