Sorry that I haven´t been able to post in the blog for a while. Have had other things on my plate. Unfortunately I don´t  have time to write a longer post now either but I wanted to share this youtube video with you. The video will tell you about the algae oil research that are done at the murdoch university

I also want to share another video with you that show some nice closeups of algae eating freshwater snails. I think many of these guys are really cute and I recommend getting snails if you have a problem with green algae growing in your aquarium. Unfortunatly they are not as effective towards all types of algae and will do very little to help control free flotaing algae such as mustard algae.

Here is another good video about how important algae can be to us and our environment in the near future. (Might cheer you up a bit when you see the algae in your pond, pool or aquarium). This video features Alan Alda (Hawkeye in marsh) interviewing researchers that use algae to clean exhaust air and thereby not only cleaning the air but also producing energy in the process. The video describes the process and the benefits it offers. One thing that speaks for this technique is that it allows power plants etc to make money from something that today cost them money. But don’t take my word for it. Watch the video and see if you think it got any potential.

I thought the first post i post here should be one on the good properties of algae and the role algae can play in our future. Just to show that algae aren’t all bad and not only there to make your pool murky and uninviting. This video show how algae might prove to be the fuel source of the future and how it is one of the most efficient crops to make bio fuel from with the added benefit that bio fuel from algae wouldn’t drive up the food prices because of food, like corn, being used to make bio fuels like ethanol. I recommend you watch the video to get a better understanding of the potential of algae as algae might one day, hopefully sooner rather than later fuel the entire USA, And the entire world.

I hope you enjoyes the video and learned a little more about algae as a bio fuel.
