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.

Its not a miracle cure all. Fuel prices for transportation will still be at or near today's levels but it is OUR fuel for once. Not some countries that will use proceeds to fund terrorism.

Very few algae companies dare to touch genetic modification. It gets your company blacklisted in a bunch of nations and ruins your PR. Most just test boatloads of wild algae and find types that fit needs. No need for expensive modification. There are gazillions of breeds of algae.
