That would produce one heck of a lot of algae. Someone has to come up with an algae powerd car to solve that surplus problem.

There are some types of algae that have a high oil content. That could work for biodiesel. I know some folks that work on this project.
May 'the Google' be with you!

Let's harvest all the hot air generated by the treehuggers and use that (after filtration of course) for heating.
Gets rid of 2 problems at once: no more gas needed for heating and the greens are muzzled so we don't have to listen to them anymore.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I assume that this cheap remark is supposed to be funny?

He tried his best
But seriously Everyone could do more to help 'Save' the planet. Recycle more, compost every little strand of waste cooking that isn't meat, etc. But it is all voluntary at the moment, we are not forced to recycle and reuse everything, why can't we be like the Germans for once, they have brilliant recycling and reusing of items facilities at the end of streets, and they had that years ago, so why can't we have the same? It's like the USA and the UK governments don't want us to 'save' the planet! They just want us to spend more on fuel (especially in UK) so the PM gets more taxes from us poor citizens, to spend on his luxury Jet Plane to get from place to place.

I thought they already did this in the Netherlands? Are they using unfiltrated tuliphuggers?

Did you know that the average cow gives off 100 gallons of methane gas a day?
