“Don’t be so quick to dismiss this: who would have predicted in the 1930’s that within 10-15 years we would be setting up huge fermentation vats on an industrial scale to produce life-saving drugs called “antibiotics”?”
My opinion of the technology was based on 30 years of industrial research experience in molecular genetics and microbiology. I have done a technical evaluation of the biofuels state of the art and know what is technically possible and what is practical. I can tell you the claims being made for this technology are utterly ridiculous.
Thanks for your reply. It’s hard to tell when reading these postings who actually has adequate background to evaluate the subject and who is just blowing CH4.
What aspect(s) of the claim do you have issue with?
I’m not questioning your professional experience. If what you say is true,why would Shell invest millions in a plant in Hawaii?
I have been closely monitoring the developments at Bell Bio-Energy, Inc. They have recently put up their web site. At last we have more detail about possibly the most important discovery in alternative energy ever.
I believe that it is of crucial importance information about their work be spread immediately everywhere. . If they are successful we will be able at one stroke to sever once and for all our dependence on foreign oil.
EVERYONE, please go to: http://www.bellbioenergy.com. For those who specialize in biochemistry and energy from Biomass, pay particular attention to their FAQ section. There you will find out specific details on how they intend to convert literally “Anything that grows” into oil.
