There is a new video of this aspect of the Algoil process where the plant siting is done next to a fossil fuel plant: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8311441053618945507&q=algae+biodiesel
I'm trying to find the details on a startup company which has supposedly found (or hybridized) an Algae species from Yellowstone Park (they patented it) which is rumored to grow so fast that a homeowner could make easily 100% of his own oil for both home-power and normal transportation use from a swimming pool sized pond. I don't like the idea of giving patents on algae - but certainly it would be hard to enforce anyway. Next -- <g>-- will be a species that you can grow for a few hours every day before the kids get to use the pool.
