An Answer To Change Society, Fuels, Agriculture, Environment and Stop Unnecessary Wars
Algae or more specifically Blue-Green Algae has many properties which can change our way of living and improve upon it in many ways enough to create a revolution in society. The 'Green Gold', one of the most ancient forms of life as its nicknamed can be a source of energy in design - food, health, agriculture, environment, biodiesel fuel, and more. Algae could replace fossil fuels and prevent senseless wars as algae is always in abundance and can be agriculturally farmed and sustainable to create a boom in the production of fuel.
It would thrive of CO2 emissions from factories and power plants. Its oil production per acre is unmatched, unlike "fairy tale" corn ethanol.
The excess CO2 can be manufactured from the algae and can help plants thrive as well which can cause a boom in farming production.
This is the future, if those figures are accurate. No more wasting farmland to grow biofuel crops, these can be set up in unfarmable coastal desert since they can grow in salt water. This technology should be given priority over farming rapeseed and corn crops for energy. This would eliminate pollution drastically across the world and preserve the environment.
Remineralizing our weakened soils with rock dust is one solution, but adding micro-algae such as blue green algae or spirulina fertilizers to soils may offer a further dimension to that remineralization.

"According to Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, authors of the definitive Secrets of the Soil, blue green algae are "our one last hope...Proliferating at great speed, the algae could...dispose of surplus CO2 and feed the world...To propagate blue green algae all one needs is a pond, a pond liner, more water, and rock dust as a nutrient—all infinitely easier, cheaper and more effective than any of the climatologists' far-out suggestions. The water does not have to flow; it needs merely to be stirred so that the infusion of algae all gets exposed to the sun. Proliferating, the algae draw in CO2 from the air. Harvested...the algae are the world's best nutrient, sufficient with their protein to save the lives of millions of starving Africans and Third World peoples."
One of the best alternatives to pollution and fuel is Algae
As you can see, the implementation of Green Algae for productions clears up the Carbon Dioxide Tax scam that politicians are implementing world-wide. The recent Obama Carbon Dioxide Tax is nothing more then a deception setup to put a Global Tax on people around the world. Completely unnecessary. It is another way to deprive people of their rights and properties.

How Green Algae Production Can Prevent This Tax From Happening
Green algae to the rescue
Article: http://www.i-sis.org.uk/GAFCCAB.php
Isaac Berzin, a rocket scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is using algae to clean up power-plant exhaust, saving greenhouse gas emissions and satisfying energy needs.
The idea occurred to him three years ago, although it is not exactly new (see later). He bolted onto the exhaust stacks of a 20 MW power plant rows of clear tubes with green algae soup inside. The algae grew happily, gobbling up 40 percent of the carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and as a bonus, 86 percent of the nitrous oxide as well, resulting in a much cleaner exhaust.
The algae is harvested daily and its oil extracted to make biodiesel for transport use, leaving a green dry flake that can be further processed to ethanol, also a transport fuel (but see “Ethanol from cellulose biomass not sustainable nor environmentally benign”, this series).
GreenFuel, the company set up by Berzin in Cambridge Mass., has already attracted £11 million in venture capital funding and is conducting a field trial at 1 000 MW plant owned by a major southwestern power company. GreenFuel expects two to seven more such demo projects, scaling up to a full production system by 2009.
One key to success is to select an alga with a high oil density – about 50 percent by weight. Algae are prolific and can produce 15 000 gallons of biodiesel per acre, compared to just 60 gallons from soybean. Berzin estimates that a 1 000 MW power plant using his system could produce more than 40 million gallons of biodiesel and 50 million gallons of ethanol a year. But that would require a 2 000 acre farm near the power plant.
Greenfuel is not alone in racing to make oil out of algae. Greenshift Corporation, an incubator company based in Mount Arlington New Jersey, licensed a CO2-scrubbing screen-like filter developed by David Bayless, researcher at Ohio University. A prototype is capable of handling 140 cubic metres of flue gas per minute, an amount equivalent to the exhaust from 50 cars or a 3-megawatt power plant.
The US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) had a research project from1978 to1996 on creating renewable transportation fuel with algae making use of waste CO2 from coal fired power plants. The project, led by NREL scientist John Sheehan, was funded at $25.05 m over the 20-year period, compared to the total spending under the Biofuels Program over the same period of $459 m. It resulted in a collection of 300 species of green algae and diatoms, now housed in the University of Hawaii and still available to researchers. Although some technical and economic problems remained to be solved, it was estimated that just 15 000 square miles (or 3.8 m ha) of desert (the Sonoran desert in California and Arizona is more than 8 times that size) could grow enough algae to replace nearly all of the nation’s current diesel requirements, and algae use far less water than traditional oilseed crops.
Researchers also suggested using algae to clean up Salton Sea in Southern California [7], into which more than 10 000 tons of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers are discharged annually. The idea was to use some 1 000 ha of pond system to grow algae such as Spirulina with the sea water, harvest the algae biomass and convert that into fuels, while the residual sludge could be recycled to agriculture for its fertilizer value. An estimate suggests that such a process could mitigate several hundred thousand tons of CO2 emissions at below $10/ton CO2 equivalent.
But it is perhaps the algae’s potential for carbon-capture that makes them most attractive, and it is as yet almost untapped.
The excess CO2 can be manufactured from the algae and can help plants thrive as well which can cause a boom in farming production.

How Algae is a Healthy Super Food
Algae has been eaten in one form or another for thousands of years. It is packed biologically active enzymes, vitamins, beta-carotene, chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, B-12, minerals, trace elements, growth factors, and neuropeptide precursors.
Algae is a concentrated source of arginine, used by bodybuilders and athletes to build and tone muscle tissue. It also contains all eight essential amino acids plus the "semi-essential" amino acids in a perfect profile required by the human body! This means when you ingest this super-food your body absorbs and metabolizes at a rate of nearly 100%! In terms of what our body needs to survive and thrive, this is one of those rare foods that a person could probably live on exclusively and experience better health than they currently do ...with practically zero left over metabolic waste.
Some of the amazing physiological benefits of the Blue-Green Algae come from the unique in types of sugars that it creates such as fucoidins, laminarins, mannans, ribose, galactans, and agars. These are unique types of polysaccharides necessary for biochemical functions including the building repairing and replacing of damaged cell structures.

Government/Environment departments have been renown to shut down algae fast without any explanation claiming their danger to human beings. What's interesting is that governments go out of their way to destroy a natural process of nature which brought about any aspects of evolution. Instead of embracing its properties its shunned and replaced by outdated fossil fuels which do more harm then good. Blue Green Algae is linked to health benefits with high levels of B12, one of the best alternatives to fuel, agriculture production. Scientists refer Algae as the 'Green Gold'. it would create a rise in CO2 production which can further agriculture.
