“Bell said the original idea came from observing cows expel gas.”
Not quite as romantic as Newton watching an apple fall. Unfortunately, I predict that this won’t be as far-reaching either. I’m sure Bell is not the only one who’s thought of modifying bacteria so that they can produce a fuel. Whether it works is the key. I’ll reserve my judgment until I see the product.
Then again, I’m waiting for an enviro-eco-freak to claim that “If this is released it will get out of control and consume ALL living matter in an uncontrollable exponential growth and the world will end as an oil-filled swamp ...
Funny isn’t it? Something wonderful happens in a free socity, when the price of oil hits 100$ people start scrambling all over to find alternative fuel sources...
Unless the Carter years.
BTW Obama, Hillary and the dems in general think price controls and taxing oil companies is the way to solve the energy crisis in the world.
He just needs to ID the bacteria in Dino Crap.
Even if it works, the world burn the equivalent of ten years growth of biomass every year.
However, every new source helps.
