Eventually the bio-fuel science/technology will arrive and compete with the rest of the energy sources: in about 15-20 years.

I believe the last proposal for algae was to cover thousands of square miles with algae farms.

Saying, “Further improvement in the performance of photosynthesis under mass culture conditions, and in the yield of “biofuels” by the microalgae are needed before a cost parity with traditional fuels can be achieved.”,
does severely understate the problems to be overcome.
