One, they do not talk about the cost of nutritants they need to constantly keep the system running. 2nd there are some very real limitations on biofuel and where it can be used due to its relatively high freeze point (I think its around 25F). That said the transportation industry could benefit from this (Jet fuel was not a bad idea).
