  • Nathrat, on 09/10/2008, -0/+2let's just turn kansas and nebraska into giant algae fields. Nobody cares about those 2 places anyway.
  • inactive, on 09/10/2008, -2/+0Great so now we'll have to deal with algae smog. Don't people realize that even though we're searching to find alternatives to gasoline pumping some other gases into our stratosphere/atmosphere doesn't help. There should be more research on how to create synthetic (humanoid made) gasoline.
