According to the seaweed PROPONENTS, it would take 40,000 square miles of seaweed farms to supply 1%. In other words, you'd have to turn all of Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey into nothing but a huge seaweed farm to supply just 1% of our gas. That doesn't even count the energy used by such a vast operation, so throw in Connecticut to provide the fuel needed to run the farm. That's to provide 1%.
Either that, or must keeping pumping it from out of the ground in Texas.
