Result: Lowered cooling/heating costs for those buildings (read: less energy used), more O2 in the atmosphere... Also, reduces storm runoff. Manhattan Project: Making algae an economically viable renewable energy source that also cleasns the air. Put it outside every coal-burning energy plant to reduce CO2 and increase O2 in the atmosphere, then get the oil from the algae and use it to fuel our cars. Take THAT, Saudi Arabia et al!
