Today, we have the power to create a safe, plentiful biofuel. It comes from a type of plankton you're probably already familiar with -- algae.

Algae is the greatest source of lipid passed up the food chain, yielding more than 20 times as much oil per acre as palm seed, and 300 times more oil per acre than soy. The production cycle for algae oil is just three weeks, and the resultant product is of superior quality. And algae crude can be turned into biodiesel, biojet fuel, biogasoline, biopetroleum substitutes, and more.

It's time for a fuel source that eliminates our dependence on foreign resources, brings new jobs to the United States, reduces our carbon footprint, and encourages environmental stewardship. It's time for Plankton Power.
