I agree with octaypus and biomimicry in general. Plants and animals have found countless innovative ways to solve problems in their environments. Why not let evolution do the arduous task of perfecting the solution? Also, timbuktu has an excellent point about algae. As fuel crops go, it's much better than America's staple industrial crops. With some companies looking at vertical growth systems for algae, one acre could produce even more. Thanks for the great comments!

But for me the best invention to lead technology was the drawing(line). .­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­__________________________. Look everything that you have or look this is the invention that made the calender possible,anythink you need as a line.Even each country as a line. What do you think? Cordially Stephane Great article!

The discovery of algae's potential is really quite significant. Politicians seem dead set on promoting biodiesel as the fuel of the future, and even if this trend gives way to electric automobiles, there's still going to be a large demand for biodiesel to run larger engines. We've all read about the problems with land-cropped biofuels, including pushing out food production, and harming the environment. Algae is great because it avoids both of these consequences. But perhaps the best thing about algae is its amazing efficiency. One acre of algae can produce 10,000 gallons of biodiesel in a year, compared with 20-50 gallons per acre for crops like corn and soy (<a href="http://www.brightfuture.us/new/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=183&Itemid=27" rel="nofollow">Algae Biodiesel - Fuel of the Future</a>.
