I was thinking that algae was being discredited due to the fact that technically it holds the most promise in the biofuel field (a bit of “political logic” that always seems to override reality - just as AGW is “political logic”. Where’s the vested interest?)
Just look at the potential yield versus soybean based biodiesel, algae is ahead with 50x per acre. What I would like to know about the algae process is if it can be fed a waste stream.

Don’t see why not, the nutrients from certain *ahem* “waste streams” are blamed for algae problems in the lakes.
