Company finds natural solution that turns plants into gasoline
WorldNetDaily ^ | March 19, 2008 | Joe Kovacs

Posted on 03/19/2008 8:44:52 PM PDT by Borneo1

After three years of clandestine development, a Georgia company is now going public with a simple, natural way to convert anything that grows out of the Earth into oil. J.C. Bell, an agricultural researcher and CEO of Bell Bio-Energy, Inc., says he's isolated and modified specific bacteria that will, on a very large scale, naturally change plant material – including the leftovers from food – into hydrocarbons to fuel cars and trucks.

Where do I collect the royalty checks.

According to the article, even grass clippings could be converted into biofuel.

This would be quite remarkable.

Might help keep some people on top of mowing.. :)

Just read where AC Clark passed on to the next level.

I recall that he predicated that Mars had LGM’s and that’s OK.

Hopefully LGM’s will come to earth -— They eat liberals.

Ditto! Please let this be true. The article doesn’t explain how exactly he plans to go from the creation of the modified biomass-munching bacteria in a lab to the production of 5 billion barrels of oil a year, but oh my gosh I hope he can.

If a side effect is methane it can be used to produce electricity.

If this process is as advertised...

Rest assured the environazis will figure out a way to demonize this. Then some fat cat lobbyists in Washington will get involved and we’ll never hear of this again.

I sure hope this is true. Still, the source is WorldNetDaily, and I’m always skeptical of them - Joseph Farah is to blame ... his bigotry caused me to remove it from my sources of news.

...."does the entire biosphere turn into gasoline?"....

I thought the same thing. We already have a bug to do this with cellulose, but the cost of mass producing it is still too high. If they get the bugs to mate, we may have the problem you suggest. I was listening to the financial channels the other day and they have a bug designed to make gasoline, but when it pi$$es the gas out, it dies because the gas kills it. They seem to be able to genetically alter a bacteria to do just about anything they want now.
