Hi Bazz,

Thought this might interest you. Solazyme is one of the leading contenders in the race to develop commercially viable algal fuel processes.

Thanks for the link Steven,
Richard Branson is betting his airline business on algae.
If fuel gets short I wonder what people will think about queuing for
petrol as Virgin takes off overhead ?

I did read somewhere that the fuel went very thick at low temperatures
but I could not see why if it had the characteristics of oil.
Heating it would be risky and cut down on range.

Sorry for the delay in replying as was in Canada for a couple of weeks.
If anyone wants a demo of the trouble Nth American cities will be in
then Toronto is a prime example.
Without a car you might as well just go to bed and stay there.
