Welcome to The Morning Feedstock, our look at the day's earliest news cycle through uncaffeinated goggles. We'll be here every morning delivering mostly fair and slightly balanced coverage of greentech's latest developments. So, hey, at least we're honest.

• Indian company Moser Baer decides it's time to stop messing around and start building the largest thin film plant ever. Almost. Well, not quite, but at 600 MW it's certainly bigger than Nanosolar's.


• Solazyme's Soladiesel is solawesome. CEO Jonathan Wolfson announced the company is now testing B100 blends of its biodiesel, which is produced from engineered algae that creates oil with a high lipid content. Like McDonald's fry grease. I wonder if they go skinny dipping in the bioreactor after work?


• Abu Dhabi's newest feat of awesomeness has gotten under way with the laying of a virtual cornerstone by Crown Prince Mohammad of Abu Dhabi. The $22 billion Masdar City will be the world's first zero emissions, car free city, and will be powered completely from renewable energy sources. Note to FutureGen - that's how it gets done.


• Proving once again that everyone likes a little bit of regulation, the California Bay Area Air Quality Management Board has finally gotten around to proposing a fee on stationary sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Like they're sooo progressive. The proposed fee stands at $0.42 per metric ton of carbon dioxide and would target everything from coal power plants to that cute little cupcake place down the street.


• And finally today.... Man bites insect. And, at least for Sam Nejame, that's good thing. Taste like chitin.
