So if we produced large ammount of algae, we can keep renewing our atmosphere plus create as much oil as we want? Sounds too good to be true.

Solar power via photosynthesis.

Algae farming? Sure! Sounds good.

No money in growing food...

Good news if true.

So I could be helping the planet by not cleaning my swimming pool or fish tank?

Yea, it's all well and good. But in the spring, you have to round them all up and brand the new calves . .

I actually saw something similar (might be the same company) on Nova with Alan Alda.



Very promising.
