That is very neat. If it is indeed true which Im not doubting it isnt, it would help us greatly threw the global warming issues and energy supply.

Well, thats our future energy needs sorted then. Now just have to convince a few politicians thats its a good idea and better than drilling for oil (mention money = they will go for it).

yep looks good... Solar is also a great alternative. There are so many alternate energy sources out there and the gov just doesn't want it. It all comes down to the fact that the alternate energy will cost less for consumers thus the gov or companies don't make as much money.

Doesn't matter though cause Planet X is going to kill us all. Or better yet the LHC will kill us all before that even. J/K

lol, figures. Algea in VERY plentiful supply for the last umpteen thousands of years and here we've been trying to simply kill. Next, they'll find a way to recapture energy stored in feces! Goes to show what can be done when thinking out of the box.

Now is that green energy or what?

It looks like a great alternative, let's just hope it pulls through.

Yuk, no thanks. But I would use it to power my car as long as it didn't smell badly.
