There is no gas shortage
patrickl:
He might have a point, but an article like that without charts actually backing up his claims is useless. He could just arbitrarily pick two extremes and make a point that sounds a lot more dramatic than it actually is.
BTW if they make ethanol from algea there wouldn't be so much of a problem
BBTW why is this in EE and not in PnR?
knave:
Who cares about anything else...The air engine is damn cool. I want one now. That second one would perhaps fit nicely on a vespa as long as there is room for a tank.
That would be cool.
boykster:
Those air engines are way cool. I especially like the approach taken by the guy in australia; rather than adapting a piston engine to air, devise an even more efficient model not constrained by previous design.

Algae is potentially a better solution than that of corn. However, care must be taken to ensure that the production avoids a negative return on the energy expended. In short, it doesn't make sense to expend more energy (gas, diesel, oil) to produce an alternate fuel intended as a direct replacement to existing fuels.

Algae is used to produce Biodiesel mainly. I don't think it is being developed as a gasoline substitute.
