Well the most aboundant source of food on this planet KRILL.. produce a kind of WAX.. that animals consume and convert into “oils”.. could be a source.. THEN... Grow the krill or a genetic version of them and learn how to convert the wax into oil.. VOILA!.. Oil.. which could be “cracked” and re-isomerized..

Krill eat algae so what your are proposing is a two stage system, having the krill harvest the algae for us. It's a viable idea.

What bugs me about these algae stories is they never mention the obvious, using the open ocean to grow the algae. We use open land to grow crops and deal with the weeds just fine. We can completely replace petroleum using about 3 percent of the surface of the open ocean.

Perhaps we can get a large swimming mammal to eat them and convert them into an oil. then all we'll have to do is slay the mammal - viola!
