GL: Surely you're pulling our leg

[Bob DeGroot]

What Mike says is true. At the biodiesel refinery across the freeway, they
have a pilot test going to convert the algae to biodiesel. One of the owners
of the plant says it really is the best source. They have a huge acreage
growing the algae. And in Texas they have algae farmers who grow the stuff
and ship it to the various plants.

Even more interesting to me is that a real renewable source of biodiesel is
Algae and the studies done in the US have shown that we could grow enough
using a very small percentage of available farm acres to completetly replace
what we currently depend on in foreign imports which I think I read is
around 150 billion gallons annually.
