Energy - Wouldn't this be nice?
My passion for simplicity would be satisfied a hundredfold if something like this would put our oil issue to rest...
In the Tifton Gazette (that's in Georgia), Jana Cone reports:
"Published March 15, 2008 09:54 pm - A Tifton agricultural researcher says he has found the solution to the world’s energy crisis through genetic modification and cloning of bacterial organisms that can convert bio-mass into hydrocarbons on a grand scale. The local researcher believes his groundbreaking discovery could result in the production of 500 to 1,000 barrels of hydrocarbon fuel per day from the initial production facility. The hydrocarbon fuel — commonly known as oil or fossil fuel when drilled — will require no modification to automobiles, oil pipelines or refineries as they exist today and could forever end the United States’ dependence on foreign oil, he said."
