Going green... literally.

Can we really turn the green slime that messes up our pools into gasoline? Sapphire Energy already has!

Algal based crude isn't a perfect answer in that it's still a fuel that burns and creates emissions pollution.

However, it's at least carbon-neutral and it's renewable, without relying on existing crops.

And better still, it could one day alleviate North Americas dependence on OPEC. I don't know about you, but I find it more than a little irritating to live in a country with the second largest oil reserve on the planet, yet every time someone sneezes in the middle east I see a $0.10/L hike in gas prices.
