If you have a Phd in microbiology and the money to back
you, then fine go for algae. The problem is that whilst they have
potential, they still need a lot of research to be done before they are a
viable bd source. Also spirulina is useless for biodiesel, it has quite
low lipid content. There are better ones "kicking around the place".
