80 minutes

Today our Biology class went to the library computer labfor 80 minutes to conduct reseach on our g4 topics, here is what i found:

-Toyota has definitely made an algae poweredPrius that gets 150 mpg: http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/150mpg-algae-powered-toyota-prius/

-The key concept is "net energy ratio" which is the ratio of nergy put in to make the fuel vs. how much energy is yeilded from the fuel and the process

-We have run into a problem with burning the fuels. I know that i can burn diesel, but biodiesel or vegetable oils are a whole different story.

-It says here we should be able to do it: http://www.utahbiodieselsupply.com/biodiesellamp.php
