According to the seaweed PROPONENTS, it would take 40,000 square miles of seaweed farms to supply 1%.

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.
