And ethanol could never ever supplant the 20 million barrels of crude that we use each day in the U.S.
And the reason for that is just what exactly???? Are you imagining that there is a big shortage of seaweed?
Seaweed that is convertable to energy?
There is probably not enough naturally occurring seaweed in any place to make a viable energy industry out of it.
Possibly they could farm it.
But that would, no doubt, come with its own unpleasant blowback.
Do you live in the middle of the continent? It seems like you've never seen the ocean. I live along the coast and I can assure you there is no shortage of seaweed. In fact, there is far more seaweed in the oceans than you are apparently capable of imagining. Your objections are nonsense.

Uses
Seaweed has a variety of purposes, for which it is farmed[3] or foraged from the wild.[4]
At the beginning of 2011, Indonesia produced 3 millions tonnes of seaweed and surpassed Philippines as the world's largest seaweed producer. By 2012 the production will hit 10 million tonnes.[5]
