It seems too good to be true but a private company called Algenol Biofuels hopes to pump out 1 billion (thats billion with a b) gallons of algae ethanol by 2012, harvesting pond scum to meet our energy needs. The company claims to use a much more efficient process that allows the algae to continue living providing an endless source of energy. Is it just hype? That remains to be seen but I’m all for harvesting fuel out of anything other than our crops! Algenol Biofuels already has a deal with BioFields to sell the fuel to the Mexican government. Another promising company to keep on the radar
