In 2009, when I wrote my first book, Renewable Energy–Facts and Fantasies, the subject of biofuels was very much alive, and I wanted to include a chapter on the subject. Algal-based biofuels seemed to hold the most promise, due to their high energy density (33 times greater than any terrestrial plant). But then the hard times came, as they say.
Chevron, who had been working to develop commercial biofuels for decades, abandoned their pursuit, and no other large enterprise took the reins. Today, though hobbyists are still working in this space, the topic seems to have been relegated to history (despite what the charlatans claim at left).
It’s great to see the ongoing protests against the criminality of the Trump administration.
Renewable Energy
It Took Centuries for the U.S. to Build Its International Friendships, but Just 18 Months for Trump to Destroy Them
At left we see the words of the Premier of British Columbia, expressing his sorrow for the incredible pace at which the United States has destroyed its relationships with its allies.
Of course, this is no big deal to Trump supporters, many of whom couldn’t find British Columbia on a map.
It’s easy to blame Trump for his lies and criminality.
It’s harder to accept the fact that many of the people of the United States are willing believe essentially anything, regardless of how preposterous, that comes out of the president’s mouth.
