CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A Massachusetts biotechnology company says it can produce the fuel that runs Jaguars and jet engines using the same ingredients that make grass grow.

Joule Unlimited has invented a genetically-engineered organism that it says simply secretes diesel fuel or ethanol wherever it finds sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

The Cambridge, Mass.-based company says it can manipulate the organism to produce the renewable fuels on demand at unprecedented rates, and can do it in facilities large and small at costs comparable to the cheapest fossil fuels.

I heard about this research a few years back, I know they have organisms that eat oil and expel water, so why not the reverse?

Hope they make it happen soon...

What happens if they throw both those organisms in the same tank?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I guess it would be akin to ethanol in gasoline, it does nothing but lower the horse power, raise the price of gas, and line the pockets of a select few.

Aren't you into video games, or was that FL, either way, check out my Borderlands thread in video games, and tell Freedomlover too. ;)
