Comment by Stephen Bamford on August 28, 2011 at 6:28pm: It amazes me that our governments are not studying research that is coming out of places like Michigan State University where I read recently of a research team that has found a way of converting algae into fuel that is combustible in automobiles. I read of this on www.sciencedaily.com. And there is other research by Paul Stamets whose research on mushrooms has found a way of creating a fuel called ecolol, not to be confused with ethanol. Ecolol can be produced by most any kind of plant material all with the help of mushrooms or fungi. His work can be found on www.ted.com. And our governments want to use fracking to extract the remaining oil from our Earth??? Blessings to you for bringing these issues to us. Perhaps if the people lead the leaders (?) will follow??? One can hope.
