Forget solar, this house runs on algae

In light of recent events and people looking for alternative ways to gain safe power i found this article and thought it would be of interest to some of you, not sure this is the right section and feel free to move it if needed.

Students at the University of Cambridge have been awarded first prize in the 3rd CIB International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Built Environments for their AlgaeHouse concept, a design for an energy and carbon-neutral house powered entirely by algae.

Lol yeah i supose it does, It should say 'Forget solar panels'. Very clever though still and a possible solution, cant see people wanting algae farms though attached to there house's or moats dug around them. I though would be happy for free energy like that if it is as powerful as it claims.
