    Oh no pet-loving climate changers! Cognitive dissonance!
    Sorry, sometimes I have a perverse sense of humor. :dog:

    Smart dog! Just keep him from panting too much, or he'll change the weather on us.

    20 years from now, when this is the "transgender" issue of it's age, there will be a rift in political parties of the future. One group will argue for why we should take peoples dogs away to "save the earth," and an "alt-right" group that disagrees with them.

    Don't worry. It is found that by adding a small amount of seaweed to cows diets, as little as 2%, methane production is all but eliminated.

    Algae used to produce carbon-neutral fuels, yields a very high-quality feed for livestock, as a byproduct. We will have more than enough feed for methane-free cattle, as a result of eliminating fossil fuels for transportation.

    That's called elegance!

    What I'm saying is that the line between "alt-right" and "mainstream" is very malleable, and will be drawn around whomever disagrees with an idea, no matter how bad it is.

    My dog had a strawberry pop tart I dropped for dinner so she didn't have any environmental impact today.

    Or, maybe an alt-left group that wants to set all pets free, and an alt-right group that completely agrees. They will both call the ones in the middle who want to keep their pets, "petists".

    That is made from algae? I didn't see that listed anywhere.

    I don't know. I'm being silly. It smells like algae.

    It looks like it could be made using algae.

    We should start seeing more spin off products from algae. Production is way up and growing. When they hit the price break point - when algae fuels are price competitive at the pump - we're off to the races.

    The last I read, some producers were claiming to be at the $5/gallon point for algae-derived biodiesel and ethanol. That is down from $30-$50/gallon just a decade ago.
