The Red, White, and Green

Yesterday, I met with Josh Tickell and Rebecca Harrell of The Veggie Van Organization as they raced to get ready for their nationwide tour to promote their film Fuel (which, by the way, won the Best Documentary Audience Award at Sundance 2008 — this film is going to be huge). While I was there, they gave me and The Huffington Post a first glimpse of the Algaeus, the world’s first algae-fueled, 150 mpg, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.

There’s been a lot of buzz about algae fuel, which is actually a synthetic gasoline (albeit one that’s completely biodegradable — even drinkable!), not biodiesel, as Harrell relayed yesterday. Stay tuned for an in-depth look at this fuel of the future.
