Now, since that seaweed does nothing else but photosynthesis, how would it differ in principle from harvesting weeds like kudzu vines and turning them in the fuel? To become important it would have to become seaweed harvesting in open sea, and not in a small size pool. And carbonizing open sae is an iffy proposition.

Sounds like exactly the same thing as algae, using the CO2 to enhance the stuffs growing ability. I wonder which has more energy per pound, seaweed or algae.

Dunno about this particular development, but I'd laugh my ass off if it turned out to be somebody in Israel who invented something that made oil obsolete.

In related news another Israeli firm has been able to produce enough energy to power a small city by attaching a complicated series of strings and pullys to the man pictured above.

I don't think this qualifies for "reducing the dependence on middle east fuel". :)

Instead of allowing the polluting gas - one of the main contributors to global warming - to escape into the atmosphere... Inserted into the story as if it were settled science.

burning seaweed? who'd of thunk... Every bit of the CO2 scavenged photosynthetically by the seaweed will be released again if it is burned.
One of those stories that tells half the story, because the second half cancels it.

Every bit of the CO2 scavenged photosynthetically by the seaweed will be released again if it is burned. The plant "keeps" the C and releases the O2. When burned, the O2 is re-combined with the C that is used as fuels (oils, etc) . There would be a slight improvement in CO2 levels, as not all the C that goes into the plants' structure would be turned into fuel...........

The point of it is, this is a really cheap scrubber for stack emissions from power plants. And biodiesel is a byproduct.
