Continental Flight Fueled by Algae

"On Wednesday, Continental Airlines conducted its first demonstration flight powered partly by alternative fuels. One engine of the Boeing 737-800 was powered by a 50-50 blend of regular petroleum-based jet fuel and a synthetic alternative made from jatropha and algae. Both jatropha and algae are considered sustainable, second-generation biofuels and release fewer emissions than traditional biofuels like ethanol."


In WWII, we had "Victory Gardens"...in the future, maybe we can grow 'infrequent flyer miles' beside the house.
