Rising Crude Oil, Energy, and Food Prices Prompt Governments to Demand Algae-Based Biofuels

Rising Crude Oil, Energy, and Food Prices Prompt Governments to Demand Algae-Based Biofuels The higher cost of energy is directly tied to our economic health and all that goes with it – rising prices of food, higher prices at the pump, higher cost of living, and 4 oil shocks in 40 years each of which [...]

The Great Biofuel Hoax of 2008 – Energy Policy and Climate Change

Biofuels. What a great name! It just sounds green. Looking around I see a proliferation of Biodiesel bumper stickers everywhere I look. In my home state of Oregon all filling stations will be required to add at least 10 % ethanol to all gasoline by next year. Environmentalists are cheering as politicians and the media [...]

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resourcesâ??such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heatâ??which are renewable (naturally replenished). In 2006, about 18% of global final energy consumption came from renewables, with 13% coming from traditional biomass, such as wood-burning. Hydroelectricity was the next largest renewable source, providing 3% of global energy [...]

Biofuel for Everyone: Will It Solve the Energy Crisis?

We need only read the front page headlines of every major newspaper to understand the deepening oil crisis and the worldwide repercussions of supply and demand as it relates to our traditional energy resources. Is it any wonder that renewable sources of energy are gaining in popularity as an alternative resource? Biofuel is one emerging [...]

Alternative Energy – Biofuel from Algae

Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, it [...]
