I saw that earlier...Silly Chinese...keep dumping pollutants into the ocean...

Wow, pretty. Wonder if there was a sudden increase in sewage or fertilizer run off from farms. It's harmless to people I see but that's probably going to kill a lot of sealife.

We should genetically modify these algae to provide oils.

They probably don't even have to depending on what kind of algae it is, its just terribly hard to get the oil out of the algae.

Environmental pollution is indeed a HUGE problem in China. But then the US did much of the same till not too many years ago.

Yeah I meant decades ago. China needs to fix their environmental problems pronto. However they will simply point to the fact that the western world was allowed to pollute like mad during their industrial revolution so why should China be shackled during it's period great economic boom. I'm not agreeing with this but I know this will be their argument.

I wonder if they can build biogas digesters and fuel them with this algae?

Would be cool.
