popularmechanics.com — After years of hype as the mucky green grail of the oil crunch, algae is finally taking on its "impossible" hurdles to move from test tubes to barrels. With key players in this budding industry laying their bets on the winning biofuel formula, how long will it take before slime powers your life?

Technically, only green algae is a member of the plant kingdom - red and brown algae are not.(I don't actually remember the classification of non-green algae. Wikipedia doesn't tell me which kingdom red algae is in - something about a debate about whether to include it as plant, protist, or its own kingdom - and brown algae is listed in the kingdom Chromalveolata)

Corn is a nasty plant in terms of fertilizer consumption. Algae can get by with very, very minimal amounts. It'll be grown in sealed transparent containers, continually recycling the water. Also it can live in brackish water, the water that we don't use because it's too salty, so it shouldn't stress the water supply. Good stuff. It'll stand apart from the food supply, and it'll cause very little pollution.

No, it's not. It's better than corn, but not better than algae.

Research what? Digg is a site that brings sites and issues to people's attention, not a library for deep research. Not everybody has been keeping a close eye on biofuels, or Darfur, or Linux, or food riots, or Russia, or---

Algae is the way, no doubt, to our oil addiction. And don't let the internationally controlled media tell you different, they serve the kings of the world who are invested deeply into the oil business. But, we've found they way out of the pasture. The electric fence will only sting for a bit, but if we collectively rush the fense, our shepherds can't stop us. Considered me unfleeced.Is it possible to convert dark energy? I've had the impression that the sun gets its rotation by a stellar dynamo powered by dark energy. If it can be done, magnetism is the key to this conversion. "maxforce engine" on youtube.

Better than those idiots with puts on maze futures funding corn as a biofuel. At least with this you can fairly muchly stick it in the dessert and it will do the job nicely.çeviri bürosu <a class="user" href="http://www.prestijceviri.com">http://www.prestijceviri.com</a>
