I'm picturing an Andromeda Strain situation; a bacteria gone wild that eats the world starting from the various methane producing buttocks of mammals and working it's way inside . . .

I want one which 'eats' CO
2 and emits CH
4.
Under controlled conditions, it would revolutionize natural gas production (think energy, folks--these critters they are ballyhooing will eat it).

If it eats methane, what does it fart?

We have a couple of closed land fills that trap the methane and use it to provide energy to homes in the area, at a reduced rate.
Here's a stat on one of them:
"• 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."
I wonder how much methane eating microbes would cut into this..

GHG Emissions?
Gastrointestinal Heinie Gas Emissions, perhaps?
To: Red Badger
This is bunk. Methane is natural gas. The most ecologically efficient way of getting rid of methane is to burn it. This does yield CO2, but methane is twenty times as powerful a greenhouse gas than plain old CO2, so why not make use of its energy potential as heat while you’re at it?

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"!
