There is also a lot of toxic gas there.

Labs can now design a piece of DNA on a computer, email it to a DNA synthesis company and have the actual DNA mailed to them in a matter of weeks.

Pretty fascinating little fact, that....

Getting closer to that replicator thing. "DNA, Earl Grey."

“Lab finds new method to turn biomass into gasoline”

Ha! That’s nothing — my Cocker Spaniel built a car that runs on dog poop. ;-)

“Undoubtedly the Demonrats will find some excuse for not allowing anyone to use it, just like they won’t allow drilling offshore.”

Right — they’ll attach some “environmental” factor as the excuse for denying access.

Why do that when we have hundreds of years of oil in the ground?? By the time we run out, there will be some far better option available.

I don't know how viable will be this process, or others like the Changing World Technologies process, but I like the idea of it. NYC, for example, spends large sums of money on garbage disposal. If money can be saved on garbage disposal while turning some of the garbage into fuel then the process should be worthwhile.

Wonder how mush nitrous oxide the biomass fuel produces?
