The concept of algal biofuel has been discussed for decades but we may finally be seeing scalable solutions. CNet writer Michael Kanellos offers some insights in Algae: Another way to grow edible oils. Cnet also offers up a video on LiveFuels a national alliance of labs and scientists dedicated to transforming algae into biocrude by the year 2010.
