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

Web Resources for Forms & Types of Energy
Scientific Forms of energy: Energy is found in different forms, such as light, heat, sound and motion. There are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two categories:Kinetic and Potential energy.
Thermal Energy
Learn about Thermal Energy: The ultimate source of energy available to man is the sun, the huge thermo-nuclear furnace that supplies the earth with the heat and light that are essential to life. The sun produces thermal energy (heat energy) in the form of radiation. So basically, thermal energy is heat energy. Heat is a form of energy.
Thermal Energy Systems: From this web domain you can find out about the engineering and project management services which they provide and the specialist combustion equipment which they have designed. Thermal Energy Inc: Thermal Energy International Inc. is a Canadian publicly-traded technology company with shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol TMG. Thermal Energy’s team of professionals is highly experienced in plant and process energy efficiency evaluations & innovative solution development. We conceptualize, design, manufacture and deliver custom solutions which reduce your energy costs, improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of your facility.
Heat Energy
Images for Heat Energy: Geothermal energy is heat energy originating deep in the earth’s molten interior. It is this heat energy that is responsible for tectonic plates, volcanoes and earthquakes. The origin of this heat is from primordial heat (heat generated during the Earth's formation) and heat generated from the decay of radioactive isotopes. [Source]
Heat Energy: Heat is a form of energy. We use it for a lot of things like warming our homes and cooking our food.
What is Heat and How it is Created:
Electrical Energy
Electrical Energy: Electrical energy is undoubtedly the primary source of energy consumption in any modern household. Most electrical energy is supplied by commercial power plants. The most common poswer plants are fueled by coal, oil, or nuclear fuel. But there are hydroelectric power plants that capture the power of falling water, geothermal plants that use the heat from beneath the earths crust, and wind farms that capture the energy of wind. And finally, electrical power from solar radiation is steadily gaining ground. Here they deal with electricity from solar energy in the next section.
Electrical Energy and Electrical Potential
Renewable and Electrical Division:
Mechanical Energy
Images for Mechanical Energy: The first step in understanding a vehicle's starting and charging systems is to learn about basic electricity. For more information on electrical circuits, how they work and how to troubleshoot them, please refer to the information on The electrical system elsewhere in this manual. [Source]
Basic Terminology and Concepts of Mechanical Energy: When the work is done upon the object, that object gains energy. The energy acquired by the objects upon which work is done is known as mechanical energy.
Mechanical Energy: The Purpose of this site is to define and give examples of mechanical energy.

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae
has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing
alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a
feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally
formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil
again from algae!"
