Biodiesel from algae

[The Warden]

Hello!

Whilst procrastinating preparing for my final tomorrow morning, I came across this site:

http://www.unh.edu/p2/biodiesel/article_alge.html

It talks some about biodiesel and how feasible it would be to convert to running biodiesel exclusively, using algae as the primary source for oil. It also talks about some of the drawbacks of hydrogen power.

I thought it was an interesting read. Any comments?

I've got a 2 acre pond.... get me some algae starter plants

I hear that!

My dad has 160 acres that's been all-but promised to me...I still want a runway but some algae growing of my own sounds like a REAL nice idea right about now.

Only problem is, that land's about 1200 miles away... *sigh*
