BioFuel

We can cut down more on imported oil and switch to Ethanol or Hydrogen fuel cells. As president Clinton mentioned, if we could cut down our reliance on imported energy we can then free the hands of the decision makers and military involvement in the Middle East. Besides the $32/barrel we are paying for the crude oil, according to the national accounting office. Adding the cost of the military build up to protect the oil resources, the final price tag is $126/barrel. When you go to gas stations you are paying more than the price. Some of your tax money has slipped out of your pockets and has gone to the Middle East.

Hidden Oil Price Update 4/10/2006:

Milton Copulos testified last week at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on "The Hidden Cost of Oil" with updated projections on his original 2003 report.
According to Copulos, who is a senior fellow with the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security and with the National Defense Council Foundation:

"Adding up the above, the hidden cost of oil imports skyrocketed to $779.5 billion in 2005. That would be equivalent to adding $4.10 to the price of a gallon of gasoline if amortized over the total volume of imports. For Persian Gulf imports, because of the enormous military costs associated with the region, the "hidden cost" was equal to adding $7.41 cents to the price of a gallon of gasoline. When the nominal cost is combined with this figure it yields a "true" cost of $9.53 per gallon."

Wow, $10/gallon wasn't too far off.

The president also said different religious groups can teach their own groups their culture, history, and legacy. But when getting involved with other groups they must not teach the younger generations to dehumanize other groups. We have to respect each other and not hurt or kill the other group just because they have a different religion or culture. Jewish and Palestinians have the same ancestor, Abraham, hoped that they could find a way to solve their differences and live peacefully! Further more try to provide more jobs to your neighbors, and help them out of poverty. America is sharing her wealth with the neighbors and that brings peace and stability. Hope countries in the Middle East can learn from the experiences, sharing and co-operation is important to win peace!

You can run your Diesel on veggie oil or BioDiesel. Check out www.veggievan.com to learn how to make your own fuel at your own house for as little as $0.50/gallon. And a 12 minutes of transferring Mexican restaurant's cooking oil into Biofuel.

Did you know that most of the B20(80%diesel, 20%Biofuel) or B100(100% Biofuel) are from either soybean or corns. But they are not the best corps.

Kenaf yields 29 gallon/acre (Also yield 6-10 tons/acre of fiber that can make papers, not to chop down so many trees!)

"OIL PALM" can yield 635 gallons per acre, which is 13 times more than Soy Bean and 25 times more than corns. So if you are a farmer or live in one of the farm states, please tell your farmer friends to ask the local government to give free Oil Palm seed and invest in this 13 times higher yield crops. With the same land, farmers can gain 3 times more income than soybean and 35 times more than corns. We will soon have some farmer tycoons over those oil tycoons. Cloning or Bio-Engineering should come up with the best crop for making BioFuel. In this way, we can lower the current biofuel price to about 25 to 50 cents per gallon and it's the best solution that biofuel is made in the U.S.A.

The governors and governments of the farmer states should help the farmers to start to grow higher yield crops, reduce cost of processing to make biofuel. The money pays at the pumps either goes to big oil companies or goes to farmers! What do you, as a consumer feel about this? It's better to pay American farmers for their harvests, or pay oil companies to import crude oils.

And you can buy B20 or B100 for your Diesel cars from the Internet, minimum 55 gallon drum for only $1.40/gallon. If you don't have diesel car, check it out from the dealers. VW TDI, Jetta, Golf are good compact choices. Around 51MPG and a full tank of BioFuel can drive 600 miles. And VW's Lupo "3-Liter" TDI in Europe that gets 99 miles per gallon(BioFuel) on the highway and 64 miles in the city, but they are not selling here in the USA.

Only 1% American drives Diesel, 37% in Europe(French is 68%)! Because in Europe, Gasoline is $4-$5/gallon and diesel only 1.8/gallon!

Fossil and Biofuel are equally important! Gasoline for airplane or race cars and biofuel is a basic fuel for commuters/buses/trucks! But biofuel received very little notice! Middle East may have their Black Gold, we have our own Green Gold at home! Tap into our own reusable energy resources, it's our gift from Mighty God! With our technology, we can even export biofuel or help them to make their own Biofuel. It's a way to help Third World countries, who are spending a big chunk of their GNP to buy energy! It's a heavy load to have to pay such price to buy energy instead of foods or education for all the people!

Energy production from agricultural crops has been found to not to be cost-effective and energy-efficient. It also raises environmental concerns due to its emission of hazardous air pollutants and volatile organic compounds, and CO2 to the environment. The competition of energy vs. food will cause further shortage of the world grain supply and damage to the food security.

The novel cyanobacterium Synechocystis strains for direct conversion of sunlight and CO2 into ethanol. Had successfully transformed the pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase II (adh) genes from Zymomonas mobilis into Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Preliminary studies have confirmed that it is feasible to create such ethanol producers from cyanobacterial systems. It is found that the photosynthetic cyanobacteria can be redesigned for highly efficient ethanol production by the combination of gene transformation, strain/process development and metabolic modeling/ profiling analysis.

The coal or natural gas power plant emits CO2 into air without paying Carbon tax, the abundant CO2 is the major cause for global warming. These exhausted CO2 can divert into Ethanol production by using our micro helper. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria eats solar energy and CO2 and converts into clean O2 for our clean air environment and ethanol for vehicles or machinery operation.

Some video available, Green Fuel Technologies is selling Turnkey solution for power plants.

Science and engineering should look up to Mother Nature to look for idea, to balance the eco system. The Earth has green plants conducting photosynthesis activities to absorb Carbon oxide and release oxygen. To miminick the process, when human burns coal or gasoline and created extra carbon oxide? We must find a way to find a mechanism in place of the plants to absorb the carbon oxide and convert them to oxygen into our atmosphere. So we have Oxygen out of the human activities but not extra Carbon Oxide. So the current society has one incomplete eco-cycle, the photosynthesis mechanism was cut short. Only carbon oxide generated but not being processed and emit the oxygen for human environment. We must find a way to complete the original eco-cycle, to have the eco balance that the Mother Nature designed to be. We must keep the original cycle which our lives and human society depends on, we need the eco -balance to sustain our lives on this planet.

1) The coal burning power plants is notorious for emitting CO2, so by pumping the emission to the algae farms next to the power plans, they will have secondary product -- Ethanol, almost totally free. CO2 is free, all the production needs is electricity for the pumps to keep water circulated inside the clear pipes. In day time using solar visible light (which again is free) and night time may need some tube light to keep the "photosynthesis activity" of algae going. And the cost for water that mixed the algae in, and you can run this new production. (initial set up charge of the pipe/pump is not available, but the process is very simple, anyone can do a simple example at home). Adding new revenue of selling the Ethanol and win the reputation as a green power plant has multiple benefits.

2) The state or Federal government should study to make this a health care mandate. to mandate every coal burning power plants to add this cheap solutions. It is a win-win solution, reduced the carbon emission and power plants can have extra revenues by selling the ethanol.

China - 82% electricity is from coal power plant

India - 70% electricity is from coal power plant

They must consider not to copy the western oil economy but develop an alternative fuel economy. Driving EV or ethanol-powered vehicles. Once the coal burning power plant adding the ethanol sub-manufacturing unit, the cycle of reproducing oxygen back to the atmosphere is complete. Not only will have green electricity but additional clean ethanol fuel to sustain the fast growing economy of these two countries.

3) Ethanol burning cars still produce some Carbon. Algae Ethanol can eliminate total carbon pollution is 95%! The process consumes all CO2(100%) but only cause of 5% CO2 emission if you burned ethanol as fuel (E-100). So actually the effect is minus 95% carbon emissions. Cost per gallon is less than $1.35 and it decreases with the scale of production.

4) Algae can also be dietary supplements, Chlorella or Spirulina, 60 tablets is only $3.85!
