Re: algae + biofuels

Hmm...  My wife has a fish pond out back that grows algae like crazy. 
Maybe I should be savin' that junk instead of wa****ng the filters out 
down the street.  ;-)

The problem with this junk is that you still have to burn it thus still 
polluting the atmostphere.  The best solution would be to invest in 
technologies that minimize polution.  Even if they take a bit longer.
