Hello all,

New to this group...Recommended by another member.

I have been in Telephone conversation with the contact for Global
Green Solutions on the Valcent/Global Green Solution Vertical Algae
Bio-Diesel Reactor they have been making headlines with.

Their facility in El Paso is producing more than the media
claims. They claim that the cost per barrel is now at $36.00, and
they expect that to drop significantly in the next few months when
they have a new technology to separate the lipids.

They are looking for franchises, and have a hefty buy in fee for
their product. They build the whole site, and monitor it with
computers and sensors. They get a royalty for each gallon produced,
which is figured into their $36.00 a barrel claims.

I know from other sources outside Valcent/GGS, that the US
Military is working to get their facilities up and running in the
next two years, and to use the stuff for Aircraft fuel.

I am taking their claims with a skeptical eye, but if I even take
them at almost half, they still would produce almost 100,000 gallons
an acre, and the cost would be around $1.50 per gallon. Still
cheaper than Oil...

I think the time has come. Thank you OPEC and Oil Speculators.
