Researchers in Providence, R.I., say simple algae, could be a cheap alternative to oil.
"… which they could sell algae based -- look at his home heating oil for under two dollars a gallon. To accomplish this they are looking to these machines. The bigger machines require subtly to grow algae. But these smaller ones don't it just and a little algae growth and it becomes a microscopic happy hour -- With cells reproducing every few hours. Using a factory buildings the plan -- to grow algae and mass quantities. And I converted into heating oil through a few simple chemical reactions. This is not pie in the sky -- this is stuff that is going on technology …" at 0:25
