Genetically Modified Green Algae Has Future Potential

Algae-in-a-vat may power the future
Genetically modified green algae could one day produce stored energy in the form of hydrogen gas, say Australian researchers, fuelling a hydrogen economy.
Associate Professor Ben Hankamer of the University of Queensland and colleagues report they have increased the sunlight-capturing efficiency of algae that can pump out hydrogen.
If successfully scaled up, the researchers say this could complement or be an alternative to our present carbon-based economy.

Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature's way again

Algae is an excellent source of biofuel as it is. It doesn't need some GMO dimwits with university degrees messing around with its genes. If you don't understand life as a whole (too complicated), don't mess with parts of it. We need to preserve existing species in nature which took millions of years to evolve, not introduce new freaky ones.
