Renewable Energy
Algae as a biomass source.
In ideal conditions some species of algae grow at very high rates, up to 30 times the rate for land plants. The oil content can be 40%.
Getting warm in the search for future energy supply
Once production peaks then it can’t meet demand and then prices will rise and it will be the equivalent of the oil shock in the 1970s. That will be a huge boost to renewables.
