Like those cars that run on corn.

Also, the salty ocean environment is corrosive to turbines.

So here's a question

Who would have thought that a database entrepreneur could transform California with legislation?

Transport ... We don't need oil anymore.

That's the European average for new cars.

But no vehicles will need oil.

Why are we talking about microalgae?

Yes. Here it is. It's the bicycle.

Saul Griffith did the numbers and figured out what would it take to get 13 clean terawatts of energy from wind, solar and biofuels, and that area would be roughly the size of the United States, an area he refers to as Renewistan.

Think about some of the incredible clean technologies we have today. Wind Electric amp Solar Cars Biogas

I really only see five that can achieve the big numbers.

What does that mean?

The scale of the challenge ahead Richard is talking about becomes clear when you look at bio fuels.

According to Norman Borlaug, father of the Green Revolution, stem rust has immense potential for social and human destruction.

And that doesn't mean that it's just, you know, ecologically irresponsible, it means that it can't continue.

We talk about energy independence. We talk about hydrogen cars.

And maybe that makes you say, Hmm.

And so, on the right, you see gasoline emissions, the death rates of 2020.

Those 125 to 240 mile per gallon equivalent autos can use any mixture of hydrogen fuel cells, electricity and advanced biofuels.

The algae that grow are in a container that distributes the heat to the surrounding water, and you can harvest them and make biofuels and cosmetics and fertilizer and animal feed, and of course you'd have to make a large area of this, so you'd have to worry about other stakeholders

We've now formed a company called Amyris, and this technology that they're using can be used to make better biofuels.

I need fuel.

Primary fuel?

Fuel supply?

Our fuel.

For example, cellulosic ethanol, to power the entire U.S. vehicle fleet, this is how much land you would need.

I could make a contribution if I stop driving my car.

Mine fuel

Primary fuel 2893 KRG.

What is he saying about the fuel?

Fuel cells.

When this happens, they're compressed under tons of pressure, and turned into carbon based fossil fuels

The source of fuel crude oil.

Jet fuel.

Let's say the productivity of biofuel plantations is 1,200 liters of biofuel per hectare per year.

This animation shows the concept.

The length of the road doesn't matter, because the longer the road, the more biofuel plantation.

Rp7 rocket fuel burns at 5.000 degrees.

The thread that links them all our addiction to carbon based fuels,

Fuel, Skripach, fuel...

It's chemically fueled.

Fuelinjected.

Biofuels production is integrated with alternative energy is integrated with aquaculture.

But I'm not really concerned about the fuel.
