BREAKTHROUGH Energy Development ignored

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?

"At one time over 25% of land was growing transportation fuel - for horses. Imagine how much would be required to put a dent in world energy demands today."

Some landfills are currently tapped for methane (microbes are converting biomass into gas). Some vehicles have been converted to burn natural gas.

Corn (a grass) and switchgrass are being fermented by microbes into ethanol.

The process is not new.

I’m a natural skeptic. I realize that there’s more to this than meets the eye. Implementation may be difficult on a wide scale. Until I see actual details on fuel production per acre dedicated to a) processing facilities and b) biomass generating land (i.e. farmland) I won’t buy the hype.

What I would like to know is what the oil equivalent would be if all the biomass generated from all the arable land in the world were able to be converted to hydrocarbon fuel. What percentage of current oil, gas, coal, and natural gas production would it be?

There are many replies to my post, some are very negative, most at least hopeful if not wary.

I am replying to you because I think you would be interested to know that according to J.C. Bell they have developed specialized, genetically altered bacteria that can produce at a cost of $35 to $40 a barrel.

Also keep in mind that his process has already been presented to the Department of Defense, generating strong interest. According to reports DOD offered to directly support his efforts. He declined because there were too many strings attached to the money.

Here is a quote from an office in Washington after the presentation:

“Pamela Serino, Chief of the Department of Defense Energy Support Center at Fort Belvoir, Va., said she was very excited about Bell’s technology. “The DOD Energy Support Center is the energy purchasing arm of the defense logistics agency,” Serino said. She said she became acquainted with Bell when he met with a senator about his hydrocarbon research. “We give support to the Hill,” she said. “When he was briefing the senator, we were there to see if his technology was viable.” Serino said her job was to question the science behind the technology. “It looks good to me,” she said.

Serino said she envisions a near future where “we have multiple regional energy sources.” She said the growth in China and India makes the work in bio-energy more critical.”

I really think this is serious, VERY serious. Bell also says that he has a range of specialized bacteria that will produce gasoline and diesel fuel without the need for further processing.
