All the more reason to get out of the EUrospaishe and reclaim our coastal waters!

I thought that if left, with a few agents added that Deisel grew its own algae? Does that mean........Self propogating fuel?

Excellent! You have the diesel, I'll have the alchohol...
(I won't tell our Catfish, though - he eats algae.)

This idea has been around for a few years now. Personally I think there's huge potential - since algae can be produced in multi-storey high rise facilities, a one acre site could produce an awful lot more fuel all year round than a ten acre field growing a more conventional annual fuel crop like rape or sunflower. Plus, as far as I remember (haven't looked at the link today as I've seen it before) algae thrive on dark conditions with high levels of CO2 - if you could store up your car's exhaust emissions they'd actually be a benefit!
