Some of you know I'm working for a startup company on renewable energy. In 3 hours I will be meeting with executives of Hawaii Electric--we likely will work together to generate electricity from our specially modified algae and if it all works take the island off oil on onto a biofuel that will be much kinder to the climate than the usual palm/soy/canola vegetable based biodiesel. Algae is about 30 times more efficient at turning sunlight into liquid fuels than any the best crops/plants sources of feedstock and it doesn't have the food vs fuel and LUC problems associated with current biofuel feedstocks. Just to let you know the profit motive may end up being a big part of the solution to climate problems--and to the work adds a note of optimism to what mostly has been a depressing lack of real action toward improving the planets climate future. Cheers from Waikiki (and Kona on the big island tomorrow)!
