US Navy Tests Boat Powered by Algae

US Navy Tests Boat Powered by Algae: "(Oct. 28) -- The U.S. Navy has developed what it calls a 'mean, green riverine machine' -- a 49-foot camouflage gunboat capable of outracing destroyer fleets and powered in part by seaweed.

Swishing around in the vessel's fuel tank is a 50-50 mix of algae-based biofuel and diesel that powers high-performance vessels in a way the military says is indistinguishable from conventional fuels."
