7:53 pm
enough of this stuff to make it commercially compelling to the marketplace. >> well, that's right. and we are not really at the scale yet where we can make a big dent in this country's fossil fuel needs. lou: most of the alternative fuels out there in energies that are being, you know, supported, subsidized, upon which we all have great hopes, we are talking about minor fractions anyway. you have an exciting process and potentially an amazing product. house and -- what are you doing to get to that scale, and house in the you think you can reach both the marketplace and profitability? >> well, i was said that we could start making a reasonable quantities of algae-based crude-oil in 3-5 years. and in the years beyond that

7:56 pm
lou: and i want to conclude, if i may, by asking you your perspective about how big an operation will it be and what is your vision of this kind of fuel? >> well, this has the potential to supply at least 10% of the country's fossil fuel. maybe 10 percent does not sound like much, but it is a lot more than other available technologies like wind or solar, which are really only a few percent. lou: right, 3%. it is an exciting prospect, and we thank you for being with us. we wish you all the best of luck . adelle make some money. good to have you with us. >> thank you. lou: come back and we will talk more. thank you for being with us tonight. former congressman joins us here
