Dear Editor: The "blue green" algae in our lakes and Monona Bay is especially high in oils used for biofuel. Higher, in fact, than rapeseed oil, and other high-quality biomass products. So, DUH!

Not only that, but in the winter we could use the emissions from the MGE plant as nutrients, and grow algae at the plant. Grow biofuel, scrub dangerous emissions. The classic no-brainer.

We put a plant on Monona Bay, and eliminate the transport cost, while providing a clean water ski area not seen since the early '80s. We could then save our corn for the cows.

Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature's way again
