I read about the possibility of producing oil from algae - you know, that stuff that gives lake and pond water that greenish tinge.

If these people can produce it economically, do you think that bio-gasoline might be in your tank in the future?

It is pretty slimy like oil but I dont know if that has anything to do with it or not. Other bio fuels works like vegetable oil and grease things like that. I dont see why algae couldn't be a possibility.

this from what it says would be AWESOME!!! Hopefully we don't suddenly find some very bad side effect after being in use for so long lol, but i'd go for that. It seems that it will run a car just like any type of gas, so eat up lmao,
I think it's awesome people are trying to find better ways to replace gas, although i wish they would have done it before hand instead of sooner when gas prices are on the rise.
