Question: Who is doing the most interesting experiments on clean energy from photosynthesis? Back in 1984 I co-authored a future history book with a doctor of biology who was convinced that photosynthesis and algaes as agents of mass production of clean oil could produce all the energy we need to replace petroleum and keep the climate stable - I would love to know where leading experiment networks are today. chris macrae http:/clubofcity.blogspot.com co-edit your citizens concerns ...

Answer: Hi Chris, thanks for your question, which connects future clean energy solutions with the power of photosynthesis. I am an inventor working on just such technology, which is called SolaRoof and is a global, OpenSource system for construction of living structures for homes and communities. Our goal is a transition to a sustainable EcoLiving lifestyle that is powered by the "BlueGreen" concepts of water working and living plants.  In our transparent SolaRoof buildings we can use plants and algae to grow Biomass from which we can produce biofuels and nutrients for growing organic food is an important know how for sustainable living. For more information enter the KeyWords above (WikiWords) in our search box at the SolaRoof Wiki. Also, search OilFromAlgae at our Wiki and you will see that we are also hosting an sub-wiki on this particular subject. Algae is very important because its' high rate of growth can actually satisfy our demand for liquid fuel. We are just getting started on the OilFromAlgae and invite help and participation.
