Truly green and competitive biofuel production
Truly green and competitive biofuel production must minimize its use of fossil fuel and its impact on the environment as is emphasized in the 11 May 2011 Science Daily article entitled 'It's not easy flying green: Large variability in greenhouse gas emissions from alternative fuels'. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110511134335.htm

Air
Sustaining clean air to breathe is a goal people can achieve by employing bio/nanotechnology to remove pollution before or after it enters our atmosphere.

26 April 2010 Turning algae problems into benefits
Algae plumes are the cause of lots of problems in today’s sewage treatment plants as is seen in this Water World search http://www.waterworld.com/index/search.html?si=ww+&collection=ww&keywords=algae&x=19&y=7 . We should stop looking at algae as a contaminant in our sewage treatment facilities. Instead we should evaluate the experience of Algae Wheel and retool our sewage treatment facilities to use algae to accomplish less costly sewage treatment, see http://www.algaewheel.com/wastewater-treatment.cfm. Also, we could use the algae as a resource for the production of biodiesel. Biodiesel/Sewage treatment plants using algae could then potentially generate income from biodiesel in addition to bills sent to sewer customers. The extra money could them be spent for maintenance, repair, and replacement of the underground sewer and water pipe system.
