one reason this year's algae may be worse than previous years is the heavy rain that fell last decembergot those massive rainstorms that made a huge wash off into the lake, run off. bringing more nutrients into the lake then we got hot. >> reporter: we also found several dead carp at the lake. samples have been taken to determine what caused the fish to die this year. locals say visitors to the lake may not realize the dead carp and algea bloom are not that unusual. >> i think they just don't understand the cycle. you live on a natural lake it cycles. it's just a very, very natural process. >> reporter: still warning signs have been posted at some beaches and parks tells visitors to steer clear of this bloom. >> it's disgusting. and i -- it's unhealthy. especially if i want to take my animals. >> when humans look at a bacteria bloom they say nasty. when kids see it, they say yum, yum let me go taste it, let me go drink it. so when people come to the lake instead of saying gross, they say look at the ecosystem. look at the life in it. this is part of a natural lake. >> a lake that may ha

when the algae blooms it releases acid, which can be deadly to some species. >>> the use of gray water or recycled water is getting support from lawmakers during the drought. gray water is water from maybe your dishwasher or washing machine that's put through a filter and then reused for flushing toilets watering lawns, or other things that don't involve consumption. one lawmaker sees the use of gray water as the wave of california's future. >> i think we have to do everything from making sure that new construction has a recycled water option, to making sure that we streamline the ability to let businesses or homeowners or anybody who wants to water connect to the cities that have this wonderful source of recycled water that they otherwise just have to give away or run down the drain. >> facilities are set to be built statewide, including one in silicon valley. >>> tremendous news for the state's raisin farmers. the federal government may no longer simply take part of a raise in crop for its own use. our report the reporter from our sister station has the story. >> reporter: marvin has

being market ready. whether the lots of folks are experiencing with switchgrass in the voting stock and algae and other great ideas so far that is not a technology that exists. it would be produced by the solar power. it's now 2015 and we are not close to that number. their own studies have come out and said that if we had the totals, the ozone levels go up across america and in many areas we have been significantly. so the challenge that we have right now is that we are dealing with a balance of how to we get our totals. there's a lot in there. but i would agree that there are a number of factors that have affected the development of the cellulosic fuels. we work very closely with the producers and the developers. we spent a lot of time with them so we can understand the challenges that they are facing and we certainly are here as you have described the desire for certainty in a market. we also hear about other challenges the fuels have had getting up and running. and i think that at everybody wants those types of fuels to be successfully produced and marketed and the more that happens to prices will come d

be inside my head. the conversation is sparkling. fine, i'll tell you. a lichen is an organism made up of two separate species fungi and algae. if you could merge with another species, what species would you pick and why? hint: there is a right answer. none of you will get it. okay, i'd pick swan because, uh, the resulting hybrid would have the advanced industrial civilization of a human and the long graceful neck i've always dreamed of having.

be able to actually make this in a way that's actually affordable. there are lots of folks experimenting with switch grass and wood and with stalks and algae and othergreat ideas. so far, that's not a technology that exists. in some ways, i feel like we're in the mode of the 1970s when president carter said they were starting all this research on solar power and by the year 2000 been 20% of america's power will be produced by solar power. it's now 2015 and we're not close to that number. a declaration and congress setting a number doesn't mean the tenl will be there. on the greenhouse side of things, the challenge you have is you're working on a rule in ground-based ozone and ethanol increases ozone. in fact, epa's own study came out and said if we hit the rfs totals the ozone levels go up across america, in many areas significantly. the challenge we have right now is we're dealing with a balance of how do we get rfs totals and cafe standards decreasing the amounts we're using and hit new ozone standards? one of the three of those or two of the three of those do not work together at this point. how far off am i on that? >> there's a lot in there. bu
