The water could be treated with magnets and frequencies which would keep minerals in solution, and off of roots.(more rapid growth) The failure to harvest in a timely manner, overshadowed the positive growth volume.

I think the science behind this is fabulous and that all the greenies should get behind it. Not only can you get fuel from the stuff but you can drink it if you get a twisted urge. Absolutely filled with nutrients! Talk about a incredible closed system, totally win win and who cares if it costs more, pretty soon, gas will be too expensive for the average person to afford anyway!
