It’s the ultimate terrorist weapon. Just dump a few of these creepy-crawlies into natural gas wells and watch them multiply while they eat up our energy reserves.

a bacteria gone wild that eats the world starting from the various methane producing buttocks of mammals and working it's way inside . . .Giving rise to a Governmental organization trying to stop it by inspection.

"• The Greene Valley Forest Preserve gas-to-energy facility extracted 1,606,439,126 cubic feet of methane gas fromthe landfill, which generated 62,041,313 kilowatt hours for the purchaser and $317,233 in revenue for the District."1.6 BCF of natural gas (methane) at today's prices (closed today around $7.70 per mcf) would mean $12.32 Million dollars in revenue.
Any introduction of this bacteria into natural gas formations could have catastrophic consequences if conditions allowed for its reproduction.
Don't mean to throw cold water on this otherwise hilarious thread.

If it eats methane, what does it fart?
Crisp mountain air.

Now all we have to do is find something that eats CO2, sequesters the carbon and releases the oxygen!I think when we find them, we should name them "trees"!
