[All] Algae is the likely high production source for future biodiesel

[Robert Milligan]

All,

News | The Engineer: "Projects aim to make the most of captured CO2"  
including the feeding of algae for  biodiesel.

"Research like that being done at the Colorado State University's  
(CSU) Engines and Energy Conservation Laboratory and the University of  
New Hampshire (UNH), suggests that algae could supply enough fuel to  
meet all of America's transportation needs in the form of biodiesel."

One can even  make algae biodiesel at home!

PS: Willie Nelson is advancing bio-diesel in US but not yet from algae  
(at only 20% truckers are seeing improved mileage & horsepower, less  
pollution, ... )
