Why algae is cool...

Besides being a jelly-like pond scum, did you know algae has other uses?
For example:
  1. Can absorb C02 (you know the "greenhouse gas").
  2. Can be used for biofuel in modified car, truck, trains, and maybe even plane engines.
  3. As a fuel source, does not compete with food sources i.e., corn & ethanol or e85.
  4. Doesn't require much land for producing large amounts
  5. Doesn't require freshwater, or can even be grown in wastewater.
Here are more links on the uses of our green, slimy friend
