First Algae Car Attempts To Cross the US On 25 Gallons of Fuel
Mike writes "San Francisco recently saw the unveiling of the world's first algae fuel-powered vehicle, dubbed the Algaeus. The plug-in hybrid car, which is a Prius tricked out with a nickel metal hydride battery and a plug, runs on green crude from Sapphire Energy — no modifications to the gasoline engine necessary. The set-up is so effective, according to FUEL producer Rebecca Harrell, that the Algaeus can cross the US on approximately 25 gallons of fuel — a figure which is currently being tested on a coast-to-coast road trip."
>>>3 trillion dollars on the PEW (permanent endles worthless war)
It's actually 0.9 trillion for the Iraw/Afghan War..... which is a heck of a lot smaller than the 3 trillion given-away to fat, rich CEOs in bailouts. and the estimated extra 8 trillion to be spent during Obama's eight year span. Yes we need to end the war but that's just a small 0.1 trillion per year expenditure and doesn't solve the extreme amount of spending happening right now for other projects.
