Brad, I couldn't pass this up. I've purchased 500 shares of Valcent just in case it turns into the next Microsnot. Rummy In a message dated 7/16/2008 1:37:56 P.M.

I know there will be all kinds of cries for government funding, but the government will pick winners and losers based on who has the most political clout or who writes the best funding grant. Uhhh, the Corn Lobby comes to mind. Boeing has a lot to lose if we don't find an alternative and they and other interested parties are funding research. The worst thing that could happen is if oil becomes "cheap" again. In the meantime, we need to drill until the winner of this race appears. From an investor point of view, the victors in alternative fuel will be much like the giants of radio/television, computer software, and other natural oligopoly businesses. If algae is viable, it will be done - by the few who remain. BradSee the original archive post
