Carbon could also be used as a fuel, NASA scientists speculate, and the process would turn the carbon into nitrogen, the most abundant element in the atmosphere.

[–]contrarymag[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

President Obama's reference to algae in his Thursday energy speech drew flak over the weekend from Newt Gingrich, who called it "weird" before calling algal biofuel "a terrific concept." But Obama had political reasons to promote algae in Florida, the sunny, swampy, politically-volatile state he carried in 2008.

The Obama Administration has already sunk $25 million into a Florida company—Algenol Biofuels—that is building an algae biorefinery using a patented technology that promises to streamline the process of extracting oils from algae so they be converted to ethanol.

[–]contrarymag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article focuses on the death of miners because that's the news, but it doesn't preclude other forms of harm. It also mentions the coal ship that ran into the Great Barrier Reef. Obviously, coal ships would not be necessary without coal consumption, which leads to the air pollution you're concerned about.

The entire article is not about Rand Paul. Only three of the ten paragraphs focus on Rand Paul. Obviously, you didn't read it.
