Algae rules! Unlike your higher order plants, these simple plants are VERY efficient. Botanists of the world, unite! You could be on the forefront of the next bio-fuel revolution -- a sensible one that has nothing to do with that ol' devil, maize.
The question remains, however: can this actually be scaled up to be cost-effective? Methinks $200 barrel oil would make a lot of things cost effective. Up to $108 today, I see. Sheesh!

Mark my words -- plant power (and I don't mean their fossilized remains) is coming in my lifetime.
