In a blatantly arrogant display of “richer than though” persona, a wealthy Sheikh shipped his Lamborghini from Qatar to London all just for an oil change. At 3,250 miles each way, that makes the carbon footprint of this already high emitting car even more massive that it otherwise would be. All in all, it cost […]
Summer is in full swing here in my little island town in Maine. The ’summer folk’ are arriving and boy are things getting busy. We have had a swell of berries coming in from local farmers and neighborhood kids alike and are getting so many MORE of our veggies from the island and […]
Currently there are several companies pioneering algae-based diesel technology, Sapphire Energy, PetroSun, and Solena to name a few. Now that Solazyme’s algae-based diesel, Soladiesel has passed tests for the US standards and proven it will run in our vehicles without damage, the race is on to bring it to the public. In order to be […]
So I am here on Day #3 in a little town on the coast of Maine where I am shedding layers of my old self to become more of who I want to be…am meant to be. So far, things have been going really well.
A little background…I left the corporate world this past […]
We’ve been proudly covering algae based diesel for a while on SWYE, but diesel has it’s limitations, mainly being a majority of the consumer vehicles in the US don’t run on it.

From Treehugger, a post about something we feel […]
I just finished a move to Florida, so I’m interested in where my electricity is coming from. I can rest easy knowing my electricity comes from wind and even easier from solar (sunshine state anyone?). From poop? Bring it on. MaxWest Energy has partnered with the city of Sanford in Central Florida to do just […]
There has been a slew of media surrounding the production of BioFuel from algae lately, and we’ve been excited about the the probability of seeing it happen. Turns out, that probability is a reality!
Petrosun just announced that tomorrow, April 1st (no, this isn’t an April Fool’s prank), their algae-to-biofuel facility in Rio Hondo, Texas will […]
Yesterday we posted about a vertical algae growing system that promises to revolutionize algae-grown biodiesel production. Today we found a video by the creators of the system. It’s one thing to explain the process, it’s another entirely to see the process in action. The low budget, but information rich video explains how it works and […]
