Robert,
you responded to an earlier posting I made regarding recycling effluent
with a couple of URLs that could be valuable to my search for oil
recovery programs. I seem to have lost them, could you please send them
again?

Subject: [Global Change: 3145] Re: Energy Solutions
Mr. Benson,
here is what I see in Wikipedia regarding jatropha,
"Goldman Sachs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldman_Sachs> recently
cited /Jatropha curcas <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatropha_curcas>/
as one of the best candidates for future biodiesel production.^[4]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatropha_oil#cite_note-3> However,
despite its abundance and use as an oil and reclamation
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_reclamation> plant, none of the
/Jatropha/ species has been properly domesticated
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication> and, as a result, its
productivity is variable, and the long-term impact of its large-scale
use on soil quality and the environment is unknown.^[5]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatropha_oil#cite_note-Fairless-4>
However, because jatropha can grow in harsh climates, it can be
planted in areas where it won't compete for resources needed to grow
food.^[6] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatropha_oil#cite_note-5>"the
emphasis is my own.

Yes algae is a promising feedstock, potentially yielding 100 times more
biodiesel per acre than soy, and 10 times more than palm.
How about than Jatropha?
And more crucially (at least to me just now) how much faster will
algae grow using ordinary CO2 levels? I've seen claims of 20x, even
30x, but these must be at enhanced levels of CO2, yes?
