Pond Scum- The new alternative to oil!
Posted in Entreprenerial stuff, environment
Imagine running your car on pond scum. That may very well be the future.
Algae grows fast, and algae oil can be extracted ready to be refined into fuels like bio diesel. One acre per year can produce 100,000 gallons of algae oil. Compare that to 20-30 gallons per acre with corn.
And… this algae oil can be produced on desert land!
If 1/10th of the state of New Mexico was converted into algae production alone, it can cover all the transportation needs in the United States.

Great information Rita. With the price of oil, we will be watching huge increases at the pump!

Great blog! I am going Green this year. I bring my own bags to the store and i use dishsoap, laundry products that are phosphste free, Seventh Generation and oh yeah use their 100% recycled TP and paper towels. I am doing my landscaping in native plants! We are looking into solar. Just my opinion using our food source for fuel has got to be the craziest thing I have ever heard!
