[ [♪Music playing♪] [The Energy Fixers - Seaweed Power] [ecomagination made possible by GE]]
[I believe that liquid fuels, chemicals, all of the products ]
[that are currently used by everybody in the world today]
[are eventually going to have to be made from sustainable raw materials. ]
[If an individual belives that biofuels are going to be an important part ]
[of the world's solution in the future then you have to ask]
[ "From where are you going to get the raw material that allows you to make these biofuels?"]
[The options right now seem to be corn, cane sugar in Brazil,]
[maybe someday cellulosics, but people have been trying to do that for a long time. ]
[We believe that seaweed is one of the most attractive opportunities. ]
[And so, our contribution to this equation ]
[would be the demonstration that seaweed is indeed a viable raw material]
[The advantage of seaweed is that it grows globally. ]
[So, we can build plants where the need is, where the use is going to be.]
[Because the seaweed is certain to be growing somewhere in the local environment. ]
