I bet this is something that Saudi Arabia don't want to see. :D Leave it to the computer geeks in silicon valley.

if that ever works out and catches on it would be awsome. Just imagine the current oil problems cured by bug poo
interesting as the article mentions it will only take the area the size of Chicago to make enough for the US :( That is one large Manu Plant! Either way we look at things OPEC is screwed we will come up with an alternative fuel and soon.
Wow that's interesting! I wonder if down the road people will be trying to do this at home via a kit or something.
I can beat that, I fart natural gas!

The trick has been bottling it! :confused1
My old boss said nearly thirty years ago, he didn't see us running out of oil. He said this country has never stood still, and won't when it comes to generating power either. It seems he may have been prophetic.

Wow thats a great idea especially since I practically have a degree in microbiology. ;)
Sounds too good to be true. Something that great has to have a huge negitive either enviromental or health risks.

Sorry to be so negitive its just hard to be postive right now when we`re getting our teeth kicked in every damn day. At the pump, in Iraq, on the world stage, Afganistan, shall I go on................ :angry1:
long term , the best thing for us as a nation is high priced fuel NOW. if a the price of gas dropped tomorrow we'd loose the sense of urgency to beat the arabs and oil companies at their game . i can stand some pain so that my kids and grand daughter will have a fighting chance tomorrow

When I was single I think I found something like that in the back of my fridge a couple of times. :confused1

I agree, very good point tcob.
I'd like to see if anything come from this or it just disappears like any number of other discoveries :rolleyes:
