Spanish firm claims it can make oil from plankton

A Spanish company claimed on Thursday to have developed a method of breeding plankton and turning the marine plants into oil, providing a potentially inexhaustible source of clean fuel.

Vehicle tests are some time away because the company, Bio Fuel Systems, has not yet tried refining the dark green coloured crude oil phytoplankton turn into, a spokesman said.

The technologies are there already. We don't have the leadership in Washington to use them.

Washington assures us we'll harvest these technologies "eventually" . . . presumably when there's no one left alive to take advantage of them.
