Aerospace companies and airlines are betting that algae — simple organisms that come in some 30,000 species, many of which can be genetically modified — will prove to be a green fuel that can power jet planes. Algae also could be blended into diesel and gasoline, and perhaps could even replace petroleum-based diesel and gasoline one day.

First-generation biofuels made from corn, soybeans, sunflower seeds and rapeseed were rejected because they use valuable agriculture land and water, can result in deforestation in developing countries and the demand for them has driven up food prices and caused scattered food shortages.

As the infant industry organizes, algae must make their case for the kinds of tax breaks, market incentives, loans, and research and development backing that other biofuel sectors have. Though corn and soybean growers long have lobbied in Washington, the Algal Biomass Organization is a new kid on the block.

In addition to algae, biofuel researchers have looked at jatropha — a bush that grows in arid environments, needs little water and yields more oil than corn — and halophytes, salt-tolerant plants such as seashore mallow.

An American Agenda for the 21st Century: Energy
As a whole – our health is inseparable from the planet’s well-being

Bo ItsHaky will promote a long term energy policy that will not only carry the United States through the 21st century – and beyond – but also will able us U.S. to continue to lead constructively and promote comprehensive health, which in return will yield a planetary well-being. All will win!

Root causes contributing to our current energy crisis:
• Increased demand for energy across the planet. Can we blame others for wanting to improve their way of life?
• Current supplies do not meet demands.
• Fossil fuels are almost exclusively the only game in town (Planet Earth).
• The largest percentage of fossil fuels supplies are currently extracted by unstable countries, many of which promote violent ideologies and the suppression of individual aspirations for equal opportunities, freedom and the right to choose. As a result Fossil fuels are the most counter-constructive factor implicated in the incitement and inducement of so many geopolitical conflicts.

America’s 21st Century Energy Agenda – Objectives:
• To provide with a realistic and balanced long term policy that will able “Us” to adjust to our energy needs – yet reinstate Earth’s ecological well-being; consequently its inhabitants – us included – we can not and will not excel without the bees.
• Achieve a planetary geopolitical peace without a single shot by reclaiming the geopolitical “trump card” – energy independence and security – and sharing it constructively.

America’s 21st Century Energy Agenda – 4 phases Solution – duration, 15 to 20 years (preferably less):

1st phase – the dim but visible light at the end of the tunnel

• Prepare and approve legislation that will initiate massive domestic energy conservation actions.
• Prepare and approve legislation that will allow further domestic fossil fuels explorations – up to 100% of our current domestic energy demands and until the end of the 4th phase.
• Prepare and approve legislation that will eliminate tariffs on the imports – until the end of the 4th phase – of cheaper, more energy efficient bio-fuels.

2nd phase

• In the spirit of the “Manhattan Project”, “Apollo Project” and CERN project combined; begin planning for a crush new energies project, which will develop the 21st century (and beyond) new energy sources and technologies.
• Begin tapping into our domestic fossil fuels resources as needed.
• Begin building additional multi purpose 21ts century refineries.

3rd phase

• E Project – full steam ahead.

4th phase – the long lasting stunning light outside the tunnel is shining upon us bright!

• E Project – Implementing new energy technologies and resources into the common market and our way of life.
• Phasing out our fossil fuels dependency.
• Modifying multi purpose refineries to the needs of E’s project new fuels and technologies.
• Harmony accomplished
