I think your scenario is implausible at best. I have an old Scientific American kicking around here somewhere that discusses algae bio-fuel. In the article, the author explains how this algae can be easily grown in the desert or any other non-fertile region since it grows in plastic bags quite easily. Furthermore, within the article the author explains how an area smaller than Arizona would easily satisfy the fuel needs for the entire US motor vehicle fleet. If you really want, I'll see if I can dig it up so you can see for yourself. Just out of curiosity, where did you get such a wild idea?
I put the "hmmmm" because of the timing. We've gone 200+ years without a czar over our major bodies of water, and within a year of creating these roles, a disaster happens in the GOM. That was the only reason.

Sorry. I don't understand the nature of your question. If you don't know what the job function of these czar's are, perhaps you should look into this. I'm not your teacher.

Are you claiming that there were no so-called 'czars' before a year ago within the different cabinet posts in the us Government?
Are you saying there SHOULDNT be a cabinet post assigned to making sure something like this doesnt happen again?
Or are you one of those fixated upon the word 'czar', even though its been used by the media to describe different posts since the reagan administration?
Still think your OP holds up?

It says in the article that algae grows on the surface of the water, and uses the oxygen in the air. Is this not so?
