Harvesting ever-increasing massive beach-dumps of sargassum seaweed - mixed with rum byproducts (sugar) and sheep manure (anaerobic bacteria) to yield methane gas fuel.

Pelagic Sargassum blooms have massively increased, littering Caribbean beaches - perhaps fueled by nitrogen runoff from Amazon deforestation. 
At the right proportions, sargassum with its lignin, cellulose, and polysaccharides
3:16 acts like rebar reinforcing the concrete blocks, making them twice as strong as conventional ones. 
The bricks also have 4:07 half the thermal conductivity of regular bricks, reducing air conditioning costs.
