[Biofuel] An in-depth look at biofuels from algae - 2
Which ended with this:
The main reason why we wrote the piece is to temper some of the unfounded and unsubstantiated enthusiasm surrounding algae. ... We have decided no longer to mimick the uncritical press releases on algae and no longer to report on developments in this sector, as long as no basic lifecycle assessments are made available.
Breath of fresh air, IMHO.

LiveFuels <<http://www.livefuels.com/>http://www.livefuel s.com/> plans to cost-effectively produce
large amounts of biocrude oil derived from algae by 2010. The company
plans to then sell the oil to others, or as last resort, to refine it
itself. Avoiding costly bioreactors and genetically modified algae, the
company plans to grow vast amounts of biomass very cheaply in open
ponds. (Inside Greentech; May 31, 2007) (Thanks John Q. Public
