Default Electric jet engine motor?

In article , says...

I never understood why the Air Force made Algae jet fuel for F-16
jets. Back then it was ~$700.00 a gallon. It don't 'make no damn
sense'.


Somebodies BIL had the contract.


It does not make sense at that cost, but sometimes they discover ways to
make that formerly $700 item for less than a buck.



It is really $ 5 for the fuel, and the rest for a lable that certifies
someone's BIL stuck his finger in, snif it and said 'yep it is jet
fuel'.
