Pond scum is only the beginning. Over on L2si, you've got your choice of wacky energy sources: do you want power from sugar or power from water? If it works, I think the latter will be the way to go.

Well, it's not power from water. you don't get net energy from a closed thermodynamic cycle (eg, start with water end with water). Something is providing the energy input (and it's not the water) assuming the power system isn't bogus.
