Algae is better than corn for biodiesel due to the fact it can be fed with the same over-fertilized water that we spill into the Gulf of Mexico and every other major stream system. It doesn't need additional fertilizer (made from oil) like corn does. Algae can also be harvested year round. Lower the fertilizer spill off, convert sunlight into fuel, harvest year round. No wonder the government isn't putting more into this, it could actually impact the oil industry negatively.
