    I want to try this, but I can't find an application for the algae so I'd just be growing it to grow it.

    Looks neat. For the life of me I can't wrap my head around the economics of this. Who is buying algae? What market is there?

    From wikipedia:

    "Spirulina is a biomass of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that can be consumed by humans and animals. The three species are Arthrospira platensis, A. fusiformis, and A. maxima.

    Cultivated worldwide, Arthrospira is used as a dietary supplement or whole food. It is also used as a feed supplement in the aquaculture, aquarium, and poultry industries."

    Try newly formulated Soylent Green! All the nutrients of the old formula, less of that pork/not pork taste!

    WOW! There's an obscure blast from the past! Great movie though, in it's own slightly weird, psychedelic way!
