do you believe algae-derived biofuels are a sustainable / acheivable solution to our impending peak energy / environment crisis?

No. Absolutely not. I've looked into it myself, and it has no rational / scientific basis for existing as a solution.

Andy doesn't exaggerate much there, does he?

NOTICE of EVICTION plan ahead, and be safe!   The Londoncommons.net is about to undergo the long awaited upgrade to drupal 5.x (wait, whats this?)..  currently we use... blah blah blah..  okay okay, lamens terms....   we're getting a face lift, with the added bonus of new features.  some of those features will be chatrooms, audio playlists, photo albums, buddylists, and even a participation points.   what will happen is the site will have to come down for atleast a day, while we upgrade everything.  Your user accounts and all the content already on the site will remain.  You may not recognize the site when its back online, but its the same stuff, but better.  (just look for the logo! haha)   We've been working pretty hard over the past (year???) while on this, and have come to some nasty hurdles that needed that little extra to get over.  We would like to call this "londoncommons.net 2.0 beta" ..  read more »
