High Density Vertical Growth Video

This short video shows a demonstration project where algae is grown in vertical plastic bags (to capture more sunlight than possible on a pond surface). The algae contain lipids which can be used for food oil or fuel oil depending upon the algae variety. The speaker says that 20,000 gallons of oil per acre per year can be obtained in this way. http://www.valcent.net/i/misc/Vertigro/index.html
