Have I mentioned today that I am pyschic?

Within 10 to 15 years, it will be technically possible to produce sustainable and economically viable biodiesel from micro-algae on a large scale. Technological innovations during this period should extend the scale of production by a factor of three, while at the same time reducing production costs by 90%. Two researchers from Wageningen UR (University & Research Centre) believe this to be possible. In their article in Science (published 13 August), they provide a detailed explanation of the route that needs to be taken.

My psychic powers tell me that if the above can in fact be done (something many of the people commenting are skeptical about), any state money financing it will come from Europe and Japan but not Canada.
