This sounds a lot better than growing corn for fuel.

I agree Karl. Based on the biological oceanography course I took for my doctorate, some diatoms can double their biomass in as little as 8 hrs--more than double in a 12 hr day.

I think Joe posted a link to an article about this a while back, but the video is very interesting.
