I was not suggesting eating the algae, but growing it for energy. Algae can be grown in plastic bags in the desert, so there is no displacement of conventional food agriculture, and algae grows far quicker than conventional crops, and results in 3 feedstocks, a plant residue/biomass, a vegetable oil and oxygen.
interesting to know whether conventional biodiesel plants could accept the algal oil as a feedstock, to ensure corn goes to food. The paradox is that ‘the green credentials’ of corn are going to see more trees destroyed, and more people starving.
Does anyone still believe in democracy. It really is just a legitimatised form of fascism. Tyranny of the majority, or minority, its still a tyranny, even if we all get a few token gestures here or there.
