Like relay whats H204 drinking right why do they want to change that, MORE MORE ,its not as those mil foil or barnacles is not a problem in our country,how does one protect are streams lakes and water ways,once they start making man made oil.will this become worse or as equal to the drug wars,or bananas import export issues, in the usa does DNR slang for do nothing right,don't mean to be so pessimistic buy my gosh ,does any one else perceive any forcible future for the bio fuel energy resources ,and does any one else see a potential problem,or it it gets out of control,could it be controlled or killed off if it runs wold,in our lake streams rivers and other waterways. please other responses to the bio fuel question.
Update:(Wow) Opss you mean that theres a chance that 50 years from now we can all expecting a letter of apoalgy for the bio fule alternitive resorses companys ,wheres green peace when you need them.

Bio fuel algae is genetically engineered to produce oil as a byproduct. Monsanto has bio engineered several crops and has demonstrated an inability to keep them contained. Should biofuel algae "escape" into the wild, which seems likely they the potential exists to have a bio engineered oil pollution that is as out of control as present algae blooms and dead zones. Monsanto's solution is to make it a crime to have their products on your land not matter how they came to be there??!!
The bioengineering solution is the monsanto "terminator" gene. This allows a product to grow but not to produce fertile offspring. The problem with this "solution" is that the terminator gene itself could escape into the wild. Bio engineered products have a tendency to take over natural populations. Should the "terminator" gene begin to dominate there is the potential to slowly "terminate" our food supply and by extension all life.
See, I had not thought of the idea that these bio fuel algaes would escape into public or natural waterways. It hadn't occured to me. I supposed that they had contained and maintained pools or raceways that they were keeping everything under lock and key in. Good thinking.
