The love canal event is nothing compared to whats going on in a lot of third and second world countries at this moment in time (or what went on in the past). Industry needs to be closely watched and regulated globally, and hit hard over the head when it's bad.
As for the topic, we shall see. I am reluctant to blindly accept new technology as being a miracle cure all. It has in the past often claimed that, and proven not to be so (or worse the exact opposite). I can see plenty of possibilities for disaster with the algae mentioned if its bio-engineered and gets loose. Our 'genius' is often greatly out done by our foolishness and arrogance.
