Breakthrough Technology For Ethanol Production

Here is a company that has developed a process to manufacture ethanol far cheaper than it can be made from corn, sugar cane, or almost any other source.  The company is Algenol Biofuels.

This just might be the breakthrough that makes the best all around use of solar energy to date. The energy balance is a phenomenal 8:1 (energy output : fossil fuel input).

This is another example of how we can lead the world in this technology and spread this type of industry to even the least developed countries.  Everyone could prosper.  Now we need some leadership to get this going by setting up the production and distribution infrastructure.

This could be big.
