Think you missed some punctuation there.

Namely a colon...

I think it may already be making new forms of energy. Something explosive is going on in there, at any rate.

Yeah, that's ridiculous.

We have all sorts of ways of generating energy.

There is waste heat in all sorts of industrial process, and waste gases produces by all sorts of natural processes on the left overs of industrial processes.

It's all a matter of how much it costs to capture and use that energy, not that we don't have the ability and know how.

Need a punctuation change, this headline does not. Makes sense, it does.

because the only way that's fun to generate energy requires some kind of explosion.

I can't remember the rest of the quote well enough right now. Maybe one of you other farkers knows.

If you need a hint looking it up It's from Robin Williams. "The New Ford ..." I forget what he named his fictional car.

I'm assuming the US could grow seaweed rather easily in the Gulf of Mexico. From there it's a quick jump to refineries all along the Gulf Coast for processing the results. Sounds like jobs on ships and on land to me. If you use the right algae, you could also mop up oil spills and absorb the fertilizer runoff from the Mississippi Delta, which would reduce the size of the Gulf dead zone.

It's not a silver bullet, but it's a nice homegrown solution that provides an additional slice to the alternative energy pie.

Much of its energy is stored in a form of sugar that is difficult to tap into

Yeast leads to the best form of energy there is,

I've been needing some money. I'll just form a company, convince 0bama to invest in it, and then flee with the money.
