2008-06-27
From July 08 edition of Biodieselmagazine (a relatively new pub)

-------
Green Star and its consortium partner Biotech Research Inc. announced they will move their existing microalgae laboratory at the UABC University in Ensenada, Mexico, to Utah [near a coal fired power plant] in preparation for the development of a commercial-scale algae production facility [I'm not sure how many gallons/day] in that state....The Ensenada algae biotechnology team will be moving to the new expanded facilities in Utah to support the commercial algae production facility scheduled to go into operation sometime in 2008 or 2009....will also be supported by other universities, consortium partners and industrial technology companies.

#3  Just one more arrow in the quiver of technologies that will free us from the Saudi nuthouse. If this lets us use our coal cleanly while providing fuel for vehicles that would be win/win.
