I'm usually very sceptical about all these fuel replacement schemes (i.e. hybrids, E85, hydrogen) but this actually sounds like a good idea to me. Its not competing with food growing space, nor diminishing fresh water supply, and does not require new cars.

I was quite excited when it was in the media about what they are doing in japan, growing lots of algae on a lake to power its local area. it will consume the co2 that upsets everyone and power everything around us.
