"   Jes SprouseSpring Grove, VA. Age: 36 Years on Job: 2     When Jes Sprouse was a kid, he used to watch mile-long coal trains rumble across the Wyoming plains, headed for the power plants his ironworker father had helped to build. Now, he is in the energy business himself, but instead of coal he focuses on algae farming. So far, his operation is limited to a single pond in his front yard, but he&amp;#039;s got big plans: to fuel America as a tycoon of algae pellets (for home use) and algae coal (for power plants). Both products yield 10,500 Btu per pound--nearly as much energy as bituminous coal. And they&amp;#039;re a lot cleaner. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve known for a long time that our path is unsustainable,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Farming algae is environmentally driven, but I also want to make money.  id=&amp;quot;my-job-algae&amp;quot; align=&amp;quot;middle&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt; name=&amp;quot;my-job-algae&amp;quot; align=&amp;quot;middle&amp;quot; allowScriptAccess=&amp;quot;sameDomain&amp;quot; type=&amp;quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&amp;quot; pluginspage=&amp;quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&amp;quot; /&amp;amp;gt; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
