Just run the vehicle on the electricity used to light the LEDs. Everyone who's taken 9th grade science should remember the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. 1st law = energy cannot be "created." it must be derived. 2nd law = energy conversion necessitates energy loss (entropy happens). puhlease! the energy needed to fire up the LEDs will far outstrip any energy from biofuels several energy conversions down the line.

Free fuel is a plus in any case. I think the use of fiber optic cables and solar panels would help. Free fuel is a plus in any case.

Just come get the crap out of my 29gallon fish tank! I swear I can't get rid of it for anything. They want to farm algae? Just come get the crap out of my 29gallon fish tank!
