I think algae is great, and I don't care who knows it.

Algae is a blanket term for a large group of plants ranging

Algae use chlorophyll to produce energy and exhale

But they can also be used for a ton of other fantastic things.

One major thing is algae could be used to produce biofuel.

Back in the spring, the Journal of Environmental Science

and Technology published a study showing algae

could be used to produce 25 billion gallons of biofuel

to getting us off fossil fuels altogether.

You might think oh, man, this biodiesel from algae thing

But in reality, they put algae in a press and squeeze it.

It gets 75% of the efficiency of the algae.

we can get up to 100% of that oil out of the product.

In Hamburg, Germany, a 15-unit apartment building

The plants keep the building cool in the summer

Excess heat is funneled into saline tanks to be used later.

and put into a biomass processor in the basement

algae to make oxygen and energy, but also

use that extra energy to make their bio-luminescence light

The little tubes are filled with algae that feed on the CO2

he or she can just suck some of that algae right

Not that I've tried them, except for that one summer

Currently the suit, designed by Burton Nitta,

is relegated to the realm of strange things, but who knows.

If a food crisis hits, we might be willing to try it.

Would you wear the suit, live in the apartment,

power your car with this little organism?
