Compared with other energy crops that can effectively replace fossil fuels, the ability of algae to produce oil is very outstanding  In order to increase the yield of algae fuel, some researchers are committed to the development of genetically modified algae
However, opponents believe that the proliferation of genetically modified algae will produce toxins and deplete the oxygen in the water, resulting in the death of a large number of other organisms in the water, which will seriously damage the ecological balance
The world consumes a lot of oil and coal every year. If an alternative fuel is not found, the world's energy will soon run out.
