Re: algae + biofuels

Mr Fizzx -

     I could be mistaken about KLM being French.  I just saw something in
passing
     and I thought KLM was French from somewhere elese.  Excuse me.

     I disagree with you about all that land being devoted to solar, but I
     did ask for opposing views so thanks for giving me your views.

     As for electric vehicles, better batteries need to be invented
     before electric vehicles become in vogue.  Hybrids?  I'd need more
     info before developing an opinion there, but I could be wrong.

     Please fill me in more if I'm really, really wrong.
