    Hi All,

    I just do not get the bio-plastics. Its gotta be a cost thing only. I mean, does it not make sense to make cars out of petroleum products, rather than burn petroleum products as fuel? Its that sort of paradigm shift which would lock-up petroleum in a non-CO2, benefitial to mankind recylcable material. Then the energy advantages would help to make bio-fuels / alternative energy powering of such vehicles more practical. A famous petroleum engineer of the 1800's was fond of saying there is so much in Petroleum its rediculous to burn it.

    Can Kelp be turned into Butanol? That is a better question than "Can Kelp can be turned into Cars ?".
