RE: Algae, too

Comment comment by VnutZ on 24 January 2008

True - but intuition tells me that there is more available space for switchgrass than there is for algae. Unless of course we grow the algae in the vastness of the Pacific in international waters. Curious - what protections there are for doing that?

RE: Algae, too by Bortnyk :: NR6

I would assume they are very similar to harvesting ore and oil from the arctic shelf; if you get there with stuff and say it is yours, someone else would have to come and make you not harvest there. Since it would require some sort of UN action and we (the US) are on the security council, it is as likely to not get vetoed there as is the Russian use of the frozen north.
