Using Pond Scum as the fuel of the future?
Utah State University researchers are using an
innovative approach that takes oil from algae and converts it to biodiesel fuel.
USU is currently conducting research on algae and plans to produce an
algae-biodiesel that is cost-competitive by 2009.

Algae, plainly referred to as pond scum, can produce up to 10,000 gallons of oil per acre and can be grown virtually anywhere.
Professor Seefeldt, along with several fellow USU professors, formed the Biofuels Program to develop new and emerging technologies that will produce methane, biodiesel, hydrogen and alcohols from renewable, carbon-dioxide-neutral energy sources, such as consumer and agricultural waste and sunlight.
Great idea.
How about using Political Scum? We have no shortage of that, either.
