this doesn’t involve algae fuels in any way. Sapphire energy(though, will most likely monopolize on its product) has found a way to revolutionize the market of biofuels. Though this is a bash on biofuels, it really doesn’t give much details on what crops are being used and how much of an increase in price it will take to produce them……THERE IS ALWAYS AN ALTERNATIVE!

Biofuel production requires much more fossil energy that it’s worth while driving the price of food out of sight. Subsidies to Archer Daniels Midland and greedy farmers buy a lot of political capital and that’s it in a nutshell.

Is this a hate on biofuels? Or subsidies? I hope it isn’t about biofuels, because they are our best hope for a future of renewable energy that doesn’t involve toxic batteries.
