"Say what?"
Posted on 04/21/2008 1:14:28 PM PDT by VLDdeSan
I and many others, have been growing more and angry at the main stream media’s total lack of interest in what could be the important development in energy production the last 100 years.
I am referring to Researcher J.C. Bell and his company, Bell Bio-Energy. To quote the source article below: “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."
Yes, you read it right, anything.....anything that grows in the earth: All matter of plant refuge from plants and cities: leaves, branches,lawn clipping, ANYTHING!
This process has been already vetted in Washington. It works and at a price that is less than a third of the current price of a barrel of oil. This development could end in one stroke our energy crisis. Soon and I don’t mean eventually, it will liberate us from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, and Canada.
Any municipality or company could make their own fuel to power their businesses and homes. NO, he’s not a crackpot turning water into gasoline. This is for real. Yet all the newspapers and networks are silent. Why?
Its been suggested that they are skeptical at such a fantastic claim or is it something else?
Still don’t believe? Then check it out and decide for yourself. Then ask WHY are They burying of this fantastic and historical development?

We’re going to be RICH!
Right? You need how much?
Check back next week. Maybe something will be left after the visit to the grocers.
..and you to can have one of these devices. Send $19.95 to 'free energy, box 1011444, Hollywood... (found in the back of Popular Science)
“Bell admits his bacterial breakthrough has been kept under wraps until now, but he plans to explain it all once his website is fully operational.”

Well, at least we know why it’s being “ignored”.
How much gas will I use carting my grass clippings to the factory?
Seem to recall many other “breakthroughs” covered at World Nut Daily that didn’t pan out all that well.
NO, he’s not a crackpot turning water into gasoline.
Yes, he is.
About fricken time!
I wonder how long it will be before the oil industry tries to put a halt to this, as they have with so many other oil-saving technologies.
Weeds and crab grass etc. Wow we hit the jackpot.
"Say what?"
There’s no reason ignorant journalists should be trying to hype or evaluate this — if there’s really something to it let it be examined by scientists and engineers who can actually assess whether the claims add up and whether it will be cost-effective to pursue this.
The idea that journalistic hype is what’s needed right strikes me as extremely odd — if there really is something to this it will have no trouble attracting lots of investors.
The Dept of Agriculture seems to have an interest in it and it may just be one more answer to the oil problem. Man, so many plausible solutions in a so short a time. Makes your head spin.
Down through history, inventors of break-through technology have been called “crackpots”.
Why should a biological process that cows do continuously be such a burden for modern science to accomplish?
This guy MAY be a crackpot; or then again, he may not be. I personally hope he’s got an affordable answer.
hint: most people who are called ‘crackpots’ really ARE crackpots
If someone really does have a serious earth-shaking invention, going to an ignorant journalist at WorldNetDaily is most definitely NOT the way to prove it.
Cows produce oil? I've never noticed that...
True enough....
No, but they do produce methane, which IS a hydrocarbon....
It does not strain credibility to think that engineered bacteria (maybe starting from the ones in cows that produce methane) could possibly produce some other type of hydrocarbon.
"They love this. We had one totally recognizable environmentalist from Hollywood say this is everything they ever had hoped for,"
Lemme guess,hmmm totally recognizable Hollywood environmentalist.... I got it!
Barney! Right?!
are we could use cats, lots of those as well.
Yesiree. Just wait for his website to become fully operational later this year. I'd just be happy with a URL to a few pdf's.
They can have my grass clippings and leaves.

If this is true, I am out of a job, and so close to retirement!
....sounds like the old cover stories on Popular Mechanics:

These guys had problems getting started. Bad quality control on the part of construction contractors at their large scale operation. They also ran into gubmint interference when the diesel they produced was put into a higher tax category.
The technology is out there to turn municipal landfill materials into enviable sources of fuel.
Ruefully
Don’t call it a panacea yet, folks.
One word: CAPACITY.
What if he has developed a process that can churn out fuel for 1/10th the cost of a barrel of oil - or even 1/100th - but it produces one measly barrel a day from a facility the size of trailer?
It all boils down to whether or not these devices can keep up with demand.
(Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article yet, but have heard of this tech before. I was impressed, but was left wondering the same thing about capacity.)
First stop is patent office, but then someone has already file for the first spaceship patent. So you can see how reliable, the words I have a patent are.
The discovery article link is dead (sorry).
A bit more information on Thermal Depolymerization.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_depolymerization
pointers to the Carthage, Mo Butterball plant operation.
That may be true, however, the cost of conversion may be greater than the benefit gained.
All you would get would be 'snake oil'.
or “slop oil”
This has been a subject of active research for a long time.
LOL!
Hey, wait...
Can’t we attach some generators to the wheels of a car and use the electricity to split water into Hydrogen and Oxygen, and then burn that in the engine?
Or better yet, just charge the batteries that drive the motor off the wheel generators.
(tongue firmly in cheek)
Oil Slick Willie. Nice.
You might have a problem with him, his oil would be full of $hit
In a newspaper, The Tifton Gazette, (no, I have idea where this Tifton is), had an article with a bit of elaboration from Mr. Bell. On March 15, 2008 an article said that a genetically modified bacteria (probably e. coli) would produce a fuel that would require no further refining for auto use and that the initial plant would produce 500-1000 barrels/day.
Bell further stated that a full scale plant would be operational by Oct. 1, 2009.
ROTFLMAO!! Yeah, Billy Mays will get it rollin’ !!!

Kudzu.
That would be Tifton, GA. which is about 200 miles south of Atlanta on I-75.
Tifton is home to The Tifton Agricultral Station which, among its other achievements, developed the different varieties of Tif-grass which a lot of golf courses use because of resiliency and less need for water.
Just up the road from the station is Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, aka ABAC.
Their school cheer when I lived in the area was "Gee, Haw, Whoa, Back, Give 'em Hell ABAC."
More likely that a series of bacteria could produce the longer chains needed for oil.
