One acre of corn can produce 300 gal. (It's probably more like 50-60) One acre of tanks filled with algae can produce 5,000 to 10,000 gallons of bio-diesel.

  I agree in the concepts but I haven't seen that kind of production in the "green" crude oil studies. It's certainly a new science and one worth studying. It's a better alternative to ethanol.

    (sigh) Algae can be grown in plastic soda bottles and fed poop. 3 problems solved.
