We can be quite a resourceful people. Its a shame that technology seems to have made so many minds lazy or we'd likely have already perfected this idea. Dont know if technology has been a helper or our detriment. Fear of the future can make us find some strange resolves cant it? We can be quite a resourceful people.

There was a major government research project about 15 years ago that looked into algae as a source of oil (as in lipids not petroleum). The research was eventually dropped due to funding, however the numbers they suggested hinted that algea as a source of oil could far outproduce other crops. Other common issues faced by algae producers include finding the most efficient type of algae for the growing region (somewhere that genetic engineering could really pay off - check out Floragenex - a company that can speed the process of finding matching strains...) Another item that I have come across on the topic is pairing algae production with coal power plants. The massive amount of C2O can be fed into the algae dramatically increasing production and offsetting the carbon footprint of an otherwise polluting technology.
