Algae - The new battery?

The wind farms actually do really well. They take up very little ground space and have a fairly good output. They are very expensive however. Not sure what their cost/output ratio is. Would be an interesting read.

 

So I take it you guys don't think these batteries will work? Or are you just bagging on something else? ;D

 

The battery part I think is feasible. I passed it onto one of our scientists to get his take on it as well.

 

What did he say?

 

Forget the energizer Bunny! He is so.....last decade.

So, why go with algae? it's simple:

"it keeps growing....and growing....and growing...."

(think of the marketing blitz fun they could have)

;D

in all seriousness - its a fascinating topic - definitely a technology i will follow up on as it progresses.

 

I dunno, I sent the email at the end of my workday yesterday so I won't see the reply till Monday. No work email for me at home any more.

old shrimp farm, converted to algea farm. biodiesel is there end product. tpwd did the permits a year or two ago, this thing has been in operation for a while. to bad there isnt more of it being done, especially with municipalities waste water. it is done here, but its flowing into manmade freshwater marsh for final treatment, before entering a bayou.
