EXURBIA=TheAmericanDream
“The reality is that modern suburbia is merely the latest iteration of the American dream. Far from being dull, artificial and spiritually vacuous, today’s suburbs are the products of the same religious longings and the same deep tensions that produced the American identity from the start. The complex faith of Jonathan Edwards, the propelling ambition of Benjamin Franklin, the dark, meritocratic fatalism of Lincoln — all these inheritances have shaped the outer suburbs.” (David Brooks, Our Sprawling, Supersize Nation)
High Automobile fuel costs and demands for fuel conservation are two of the few things which can prevent exurban growth.
An Algae based biogas will give the US energy security, price stabilization and more fuel.
This will allow people to increase their automotive fuel consumption thus enabling exurban growth
Which will further the growth of BP and their profits.
New exurban communities lack civic and public gathering locations where they can unite on their common grounds.
BP can provide what these new settlements need: plentiful inexpensive fuel and a “public” forum.
To constantly encourage further growth BP must be on the exurban frontier, constantly moving outwards.
To do so, this system must be “mobile” and “temporary” operating on test sites at the extreme periphery.
It must settle for a while and move on if an area is not settled soon enough or it gains enough population to justify the implementation of more permanent facilities.
