Algae production gets the highest priority in global energy markets. Production of large quatities of algae requires phosphor fertilizing. All available phosphor goes to algae production and agriculture especially in developing countries starts to severlly suffer from scarcity of phosphor fertilizes. Many developing countries end up to famine and quality of food nutrition goes down globally.
