country produces and consumes energy. my next guest along with scientists and engineers has found a way to produce crude oil from algae. normally a million-year process thathey have condensed to under one hour. that's quite a reversal of scale. joining s, president of jim of fuel corporation, a partn in with the pacific northwest laboratory on this fascinating project. jim, first of all, thank you for being here. and tell us, if you wl, and as simplest terms as possible f me, how this process works. >> well, lou, it is a proce at really mimics what the earth itself did t to make fossl fuels, except, as you said, we do i faster. it is a process that uses water, temperature, and pressure to convert elegy into crude oil. lou: i imagine that the real issue for you is one of scale. that is, the ability to create
10:53 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 sca, and house in the you think you can reach both the marketplace and profitability? >> well, i was said that we could start making a asonable quantities of algae-based crude-oil in 3-5 years. and in the years beyond that
10:54 pm
reached commercial -- commercial price parity with fossil fuels. lou: wt is theegulatory environment for you, if i can use that expression? this is obviously an exciting ternative. if that federal government helps commanders, where is the marketplace? is this a matter of bringing in enough capital to your firm to move and to accelerate that 3-five-year horizon? where you stand as an enterprise? >> well, first of all, the federal government has sponsored and funded this research for over 30 years, so this is not a new startup technology, but it one that is a major breakthrough. now, to get to the commercial stage we need to not only be able to implement this technology come but we have to be able to grow the elegy on a large scale. think that wl be harder than scaling up this breakthrough

10:56 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 soun 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 wishou 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 night. former congressman joins us here
