“A Very Good Place to Start”
“Energy! Who isn’t thinking of it these days. We human beings start thinking about important things only when they have gotten really difficult. And it is no different with energy.
Our dear earth has only so much fossil oil. Folks continue debating just how much oil we really have left – some say there is enough oil only for the next 50 years, while the more optimistic of the lot point to oil shale and tar sands and think we have another 100 years before fossil oil becomes as scarce as common sense. Whichever argument one subscribes to, there is enough fossil oil only for a few generations more.
And, having consumed in under a hundred years almost half of all the oil that took earth millions of years to form, we have just about started trying to figure out alternative sources of oil. God could have been more kind and presented us with some easy alternative, but He has decided to get tough with his errant creations. We are thus faced with a problem of where to start with regard to finding an alternative source of energy.
We are saying – Perhaps we can start with algae?”
