As industry continues to find a profitable way to meet the nation's alternative energy objectives, more and more start-up companies, it seems, are growing production ponds of algae. Algae are widely viewed as a potential source of renewable fuel, but the technology to mass-produce fuel-grade algae is still in the early stages. A major roadblock is the inability to produce large amounts of the greenish, chlorophyll-containing organisms.
