Wild Card's description: 

Algae production plants in sunny offshore areas become huge industrial areas which produce not only huge quantities of biofuels, but also lots of electricity and clean water from sea water. Global clean water problem is suddenly solved. GM Algae are the most efficient way for the production. But because the new algae are very effective users of salty water and sunshine their control is lost. Huge problems concerning the sees and even the climate emerge.
