I and many others, have been growing more and angry at the main stream medias 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 dont 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, hes 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 dont believe? Then check it out and decide for yourself. Then ask WHY are They burying of this fantastic and historical development?

Say it ain't so!
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 not opposing capturing some waste energy, but the idea that energy from biomass is a feasible strategy for supplying our energy requirements is a dead end.
Haiti and Madagascar were too impatient and burned 90% of their biomass. They just needed to wait a few hunnert million years.

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 Bells 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.
Yes, wood, etc. are poor sources of fuel. Which is partially why underdeveloped countries are low power. The further the energy source gets from the biosphere, the more powerful they become.
Not to mention environmental damage.
Bush 41 is shouting, "Use that damn broccoli for oil!
Bill Clinton is asking, "Does that include a growing erection?"
Hillary Clinton is answering, "Yes! Yes! Hell, Yes!!!"
