Glow algae for food (Solent Green) to feed people, as current crops could not survive due to global warming.

But the seas were too polluted to grow enough algae, make Solent Green from other material

This is the future.

Sunlight -> Algae -> Fuel

What's the betting the UK isn't involved in this and isn't a world leader in this technology?

Butanol can be used in petrol engines without modification.

Arab countries can then go fork themselves.

They're the ones with loads of empty desert and sunlight.

All it takes is a network of fresh water pipes heading inland from desalination plants by the sea, and they'll be the countries exporting all the fuel! Again!
