hippieflavor: “Just yesterday San Francisco saw the unveiling of the world’s first algae fuel-powered vehicle, dubbed the Algaeus. The car, which is a Prius tricked out with a nickel metal hydride battery, rooftop solar panels and a plug, runs on green crude from Sapphire Energy — no modifications to the gasoline engine necessary. The set-up is so effective, according to FUEL producer Rebecca Harrell, that the Algaeus can run on approximately 25 gallons from coast to coast!” Tour stops & dates: 9/8/09 – San Francisco, CA 9/9/09 – Sacramento, CA 9/10/09 – Cheyenne, WY 9/12/09 – Lincoln, NE 9/13/09 – Chicago, IL 9/14/09 – Detroit, MI 9/15/09 – Cleveland, OH 9/15/09 – Erie, PA 9/17/09 – Washington, D.C (via Inhabitat » First Algae-Powered Car Attempts to Cross US on 25 Gallons) i really like algae as a fuel-source. because the sources used are not already part of an ecosystem, unlike wind, solar, tidal, & biofuel energies, their consumption presumably won’t have any adverse effects on the environment from which it was removed.
