This could have promise. The key to renewable fuels is to produce the feedstock cheaply, with low overhead and input costs, and on some resource that’s not already being used to produce something more valuable.

I have learned to be very slow about any technology that claims to be “green”, “renewable”, “bio-fuel”, etc... however, this sounds to be a quite promising approach. I hope it works out, and that ethanol can be sold at a cost per unit energy less than gasoline.

Isn’t common lake algae, the kind so many lakes are overrun with, a good source of biofuel? Seems like there was quite a bit about that several years ago.

Send the seaweed to Mooooochelle, she can eat it and loose some weight. Maybe that fat rear would get down to something “normal”......Oh wait, that IS normal for her.
