Yeah, and I think that there will be health repercussions from it. Basically free-radical filled fumes instantly absorbed through the lungs. Cancer anyone? Just a theory of mine but I was talking about plastic being a problem years before anyone else was.
As far as algae bio-diesel goes, the algae could be grown at the site of sewerage treatment plants and have no effect on the wild environment. Totally self-contained. Absorbing CO2 and giving off O2. Not a bad idea. Probably at least the jet fuel of the future.
