Experts and government bureaucracies have predicted for many decades that the supply of crude oil is finite and the pipelines will run dry in just a few years. However, geologists working for oil companies continue to find additional sources. However, the costs to recover many of these sources continue to increase and some now predict that unless the price of a barrel of oil grows and stays above $100, it will be impractical to go after it.

However, there is an alternative to those sources that is readily available, renewable and does not require drilling.

Consider that scientists think that much of the crude pumped from pools in the ground originated from old populations of algae. Anybody that has tried to maintain a swimming pool or hot tub knows that it is a constant struggle to prevent the growth of algae in the water. So, it is easy and quick to grow. It can be grown in nearly any climate and does not require huge sections of land.

Researchers have discovered that they can obtain an oil product from the growth of algae that can be used to produce nearly every product now produced from crude oil. Another huge benefit would be that it could be a totally carbon neutral process. Add this to other sources such as natural gas, coal, wind, solar, etc and we have an inexhaustible supply of totally renewable energy. As algae, wind, solar and hydrogen sources are naturally developed by market forces, the need for natural gas and coal could be eliminated. Nothing needs to be mined or drilled. Nothing needs to be iimported. We have enough for everyone and it can be affordable.
