What is the best alternative-energy for vehicles?
OK, I used to be all gung-ho about ethanol, but I have heard too many bad things about it. For one, ethanol takes as much energy to produce as it releases. Also, it will be MORE expensive than gas, and pollute almost the same amount.
Biodiesel seems to be a good one, but it may damage [...]

ALGAE, The Energy Source of the Future(2nd Place at BPA NLC)
We competed with this video in the BPA Video Production Team event. We recieved 1st place at regionals, and 1st place at the State BPA Convention (IDAHO). We also placed 2nd in the National BPA Leadership Convention in Reno NV. We were a little dissappointed to get 2nd at first, but 2nd is pretty good [...]
MIT Algae Photobioreactor
An algae photobioreactor on the roof of MIT university. The clear polycarbonate tubes are approx 3 meters high, and 10-20 centimeters in diameter. It removes upto 86% of the NOx and 40% of the CO2 of the smokestack emissions that are bubbled through it. The algae are feeding on exhaust with 13% CO2 content. This [...]

Is it possible to convert human body fat to a biofuel to power diesel vehicles?
If it is possible, we could kill two birds with one stone. We could get the federal government to subsidize liposuction, and then render the waste human fat into biodiesel. We could then assist in alleviating the nation’s obesity problem with subsidized liposuction, and/or pay contributors for their body fat. Would [...]

Best Alternative Energy Source – Biofuel from Algae
www.livinggreenchannel.com Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, [...]
