Pond scum could be a great alternative to oil, says one entrepreneur. CNN's Miles O'Brien reports.
100 000 gallons per acre per year (compared with 20 for corn biofuels); 1/10th the area of New Mexico for all the transportation needs of the US. Though this alone may not be sufficient, there's much to be said of the march of technology. What remains to be seen is the energy efficiency of the process.
