• Fuel + Energy+ chemicals for fertilizers = 70% Economy of the planet
• Funding of this largest economy is 1/30th of medical research and for algae its 1/100th of that of agriculture
• Requirement of Energy, rate so high that we would burn petroleum accumulated over 300 million years in less than 200 years or in less than Eight Generations of Human beings.
