Filling Up On Algae
grqb writes "News.com is reporting that GreenFuel Technologies, a Cambridge, Mass. based start-up, is using algae fed with sunlight, water and emissions from power plants to make biodiesel. The benefits are that heavy polluters can cut back on their emissions and at the same time make biodiesel. The algae consumes carbon dioxide as part of photosynthesis and they also break down nitrogen oxide, reducing the amount of polluting gas released. Once the algae are grown, the conversion to biodiesel is a relatively simple process. The company uses technology licensed from a NASA project. The only barrier now is to prove that it is economically viable."
This is unAmerican and you hippies should be ashamed of yourselves! ;)

Well, yeah. It's a bit complex though -- you pour the biodiesel into the filler neck, and then you put the fuel cap back on. Then, turn the key.
Biodiesel algae - a 'power plant' a mother could love.
And soon, no doubt . . . Soylent Green - putting people to work...

And I, for one, welcome our oil producing algea overlords, and would like to remind them that as a slashdot poster I am highly capable of producing large steaming mounds of bullshit for their sustanance.
