The real ecological nightmare is industrial agriculture. Switching to organic-style crop rotation will cut energy use on farms by a third or more: no more petroleum-based herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer needs can be served either by applying the byproducts left over from the alcohol manufacturing process directly to the soil, or by first running the byproducts through animals as feed.

I invented a breakthrough energy source which violates the law of energy conservation. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena violating the law of energy conservation. I am looking for $30000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents. In mass production it will cost $1200 to make a 15 kW generator, value of energy produced YEARLY about $10000.H.

vertigro + craig venter's latest discovery of synthesizing life = sustainable oil forever... that is, if the oil companies don't decide to assassinate everyone or destroy his company. They are the bullies of this planet this rock that we all live on together. They will never be satisfied unless they're in charge (making our lives miserable).

it's like the matrix.....except we are the machines

Algae biofuel & bio diesel is the future. US will become first country to make biofuel and bio diesel to use on Cars, Trucks, Planes, other transportation, military war machines, & other. US will become richest like Saudi Arabia which hold a lot of oil.

reduce our reliance on oil?we are still using oil made by these protists

Thank you for this nice documentation. It is a good mix out of global pictures, interessting statistics and in addition some nice music. I also like algae a lot and the fantastic possibilities they offer! Some critical words: The presentation of other kind of biofuels is to negative and they the developed quit a lot in the last years.

his statistics are wrong. we do not emit that much co2 per year. Good message , though work on your science project a bit more.

face it. we've grown way too big as a society to be sustainable on any type of renewable fuel. all energy comes from the sun.. no matter which way you extract it, we'd still have to cover GYNORMOUS portions of our land to get where we need it and it would be horribly expensive.
