I support the use of biofuels, but I am concerned on the impact corn ethanol may have on the world food supply. One alternative is algae. Some studies have shown algae may produce 30 times the energy per acre compared to other terrestrial crops. Plus the stuff grows very quickly, can be grown in waste water and gobbles up carbon dioxide! Too good to be true? Maybe.
