It’s tiny, green, and could be the future of biofuels.

Algae is a renewable source of energy. ExxonMobil is researching its potential to produce a lower CO emission alternative to today’s 2 transport fuels. And because algae can grow in salt water and on land unsuitable for crops, a successful algae-based biofuel could provide the world with more energy without posing a challenge to global food and fresh water supplies.

New Car Smell Police fired a tear gas canister into this car on October 13 after the man inside defied a government ban on demonstrations in certain parts of the country. Since Kenya’s presidential election in August, violence and protests have rocked this East African nation.
