Google "widescale biodiesel production from algae" and read physics professor Michael Briggs' study.

I'm convinced micro algae is the most promising source of renewable oil. It can optimally produce 15,000 gallons/acre/year, as opposed to corn (15 gallons/acre/year) or soybeans (48 gallons/acre/year). And it need not take one acre of productive farmland to do it.

I'm convinced that perpetual motion is the way to go.

It's even with algae in actual energy production right now.

That sounds great. But you’re going to have to get that CornToEthanol bone out of the subsidies dog’s mouth
