Bio Fuel and Greening the Desert: Possible breakthrough using halophytes for fuel.

I didn't see this anywhere else, so I thought I'd try my hand at posting something with substance for a change. My big deal is potable water. My next big deal is environmental degradation. So when I ran across this article about halophytes, or salt-tolerant plants, I realized there was something beyond shrimp farming* you could do with these plants. The people at Boeing seem convinced this would solve many of the problems associated with using low-grade fuels from tar sands and shale in their jet engines. It would have the added effect of greening the desert and acting as an additional sink for CO2.

Possibly someone with more energy and certainly talent, like.... anyone else here, could take this and do something a little more in depth.

I'm more of a self-satisfied snarky ranter and Speaker of Doom than I am a real diarist. Just see anything I've ever written...
