Renewable Energy

The topic of renewable energy is being taken very seriously by both the business sector and politicians. Is biodiesel in fact a sustainable fuel? Is extracting biodiesel from algae a viable alternative? What about wind turbines on land? Or out at sea? Is it economically feasible to generate renewable energy without government support?
