Oil from Algae? It just might be Prime Time Slime.
If this is the real goods, a real solution to our energy crisis might be close at hand.
Valcent (Google ticker: VCTPF ) mucks around with algae - and claims that oil can be produced at scale to far outstrip ethanol and palm oil production.
A very small cap (under $20M at present) OTC pink sheet special, one has to wonder… if these slime-handling scientists could well be the next Microsoft or Google, if the current commodities bull begins to peak.
While Valcent’s literature ( site ) seems to indicate that the primary product is biodiesel, they have also stated that another product could be aircraft fuel. And the relative ease with which this technology could be localized into communities - needing only the water, the green goo, and the towers to house it in - it is not tied to a specific geography as much of our current oil lies in the hands of fractious tribes of Arabs and South American Marxists.
The Oil Bull’s days may be numbered, if this technology can be scaled up.
