With all the urgency of carbon dioxide capture from coal electric plants, why aren’t algae systems being tested on commercial basis?  If algae aren’t ready, why can’t research and funding make it available very soon?  It seems that a large scale validation of both a coal power plant with algae system to absorb carbon dioxide in Powder River Basin is of highest urgency.  How much would it then cost to build transmission link to East or West grid versus load coal into railcars for transport to existing power plants?

Good questions Rod.. obviously are government has failed miserably in funding these initiatives but given the skyrocketing costs to run the wars I would imagine the military is doing some extensive testing.  I’ll have to do some research on this
