[quote=jpinpb]Aren’t we having a water shortage?[/quote]
Who are we? The US?

I read some other articles and it doesn’t need to be fresh water, Saltwater, wastewater, brackish, it just need to be liquid. And the water is not destroyed in the process so it can be re-used.

But like AN pointed out, it would not ideally be a San Diego thing, there are plenty of places in the U.S. where they have lots of water, it literally falls out of the sky.

Now this would truly be going green in color as well as impact!

xman, in you linked article the author poo-poos the idea on cost alone, not a mention of it not being feasible due to energy consumed in producing algae-based fuel.

Costs of anything are variable with time…it may not be cost-effective right now but that doesn’t mean it won’t be in the future.

If he had made a case based on energy consumption, his argument would be something to consider. As it is, he’s all wet (or algae-covered).
