1. ALGAE FUEL
...and more!

2. 1. Energy costs increasing; fossil fuels decreasing.
Issue:
1. Energy costs increasing; fossil fuels decreasing.
2. Present pace = catastrophic!
Solution: Algae oil!
1. Carbon Neutral
2. High-Yield
3. Hardy
Biodiesel Energy: To replace current US petroleum consumption:
1.9 million square kilometers for soy vs for algae = 2% as much land!

3. Roadblocks:
1. High cost for algae
2. Harvesting [Oil Loss, Algae Recovery]
3. Land vs. Water
4. Algal Blooms [Biodiversity]
5. Efficiency
Solutions:
1. Us
2. You
