Is algae the solution to the world's energy, environmental, and food problems?
 

Fascinating stuff

The downside, IMO, is that it requires sky high fossil fuel prices to 'push' our current global energy/food paradigm to something as radical as this...

We've probably had zero point energy for 20 years :2 cents:

What needs to happen to make algae energy our default source?

Why don't you start with a cook book full of delicious algae recipes?

Then you'd have created a small demand for algae, so you could follow up with a book on easy, inexpensive ways to grow your own algae.

Now with a small demand for algae created and a solution for growing it easily at home... follow up with a third book on how to efficiently turn the algae into energy.

There you go, I won't even charge you my normal consultant fee as long as you give me a free copy of each book.

That's definitely one way to go about building up demand

Most of the driest regions of the world are sitting on billions of litres of water.

You just have to drill deep enough and then have the purifying technology there, and deserts will be turned in to wheat growing land. There's a reason China is going mad on Africa, they'll turn it in to the food bowl of the world in the next 150 years.

A scenario like that is going to happen long before we all start eating algae snot.
