I was reading about Bio-Hydrogen on the net, ie Hydrogen that is made in tanks from Algae and how just 25,000 sq km would be enough to replace all the petroleum used in road vehicle usage in the US.

What if the US Govt went all out to replace petroleum at the start of the year 2000, before Shale Gas was pursued?, say around 2% per year?

I was thinking of using desert areas in the South West such as Texas, Arizona, Nevada etc so as not to encroach on pastoral and crop production.

Would this be possible?

How much investment would it take?

How much would the cost come down, as at the moment it comes in at around $13 a kg, the optimum price needs to be $2.60?
