Watch it in 1080HD mode. It's an RC glider exploiting the energy difference in two air masses. There is a pocket of still air behind a ridgeline while fast moving air is moving over the top of it. By transitioning between the air masses the airspeed of the plane increases with each boundary crossing.
1) Dow makes magic algae.
2) Economic pressure forces Dow to make algae directly excrete ethanol in high concentrations (about 20%).
3) Algae gets into environment ...
10) Seals start coming ashore, seeking bars when their algae supply runs out. Barfights ensue. The ACLU gets involved. Punching seals is declared a hate crime.
11) Growing algae becomes illegal. Everyone grows it anyway. California semi-legalizes "medicinal algae."
