well, blinky blew it on his first attempt to post a new topic

the heading, above, was meant to be posted on the travel & transportation board....

so I'll expound on my intended topic on a new thread here, under the appropriate title

hope a mod moves this topic to the t&t board... ?

I will move the topic. I did not notice this before now. You can send us a PM and we can help if we are online.

This is an interesting topic and a hopeful one should the technology work.

Moved to T&T - D

thanks D!

here's another angle on it...

... don't know if you've ever heard, seen, or read Mr. Dyer's work before, but he is - being a Canadian citizen and a war historian - a fairly familiar face - and voice - to Canadians, as he has been interviewed countless times, by the CBC and the BBC, and has produced a few solid documentaries for both t.v.and radio on the topic

his latest 3-part series on Global Warming and Nuclear War called "Climate Wars" just aired (again) on CBC radio's "Ideas" program.

it is quite the wake-up call, if anyone needs (or wants) one...

all three parts are here to listen to: http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/features/climate-wars/index.html

Isaac Asimov predicted the use of algae as fuel years ago in his Foundation Trilogy.

He pictured large algae farms which consisted of huge tanks where the stuff was grown then converted to fuel.
