VIMS scientists, part of the Chesapeake Algae Project (ChAP), were conducting basic research that promises to clean agricultural and other pollutants from the Chesapeake—and potentially the oceans—while delivering a carbon-based, sustainable stock that can meet the automotive fuel needs of an increasingly mobile world population. http://www.wm.edu/news/stories/2010/algaebiofuel-001.php

  • I'm pretty sure I did the same short-answer math problem about algae biofuel about three or four time in AP environmental science. Based on those numbers the algae is ridiculously more efficient than, say, corn. I'm really excited about this type of research because so many times in environmental science it seemed like every 'solution' had a nonsustainable consequence; algae makes me hopeful.
