Researcher: Discovery could end energy crisis

TIFTON — A Tifton agricultural researcher says he has found the solution to the world’s energy crisis through genetic modification and cloning of bacterial organisms that can convert bio-mass into hydrocarbons on a grand scale. The local researcher believes his groundbreaking discovery could result in the production of 500 to 1,000 barrels of hydrocarbon fuel per day from the initial production facility. The hydrocarbon fuel — commonly known as oil or fossil fuel when drilled — will require no modification to automobiles, oil pipelines or refineries as they exist today and could forever end the United States’ dependence on foreign oil, he said.

J.C. Bell, who brought the world powdered peanut butter, has spent the last four years, identifying the bacteria that produces hydrocarbon and then finding a way to genetically alter it so that it could produce hydrocarbon in greater volume.

ping!

“Solid sewage could be converted to hydrocarbons.”

If the sewage of bull could be converted, than D.C. would be the energy capitol of the world.

[the invisib1e hand]

from the guy who brought you powdered peanut butter...

And what volume of biomass is required to supply the energy demands of America.

[Fox_Mulder77]

Something tells me Libs are going to reject this.

[gusopol3]

are you sure “brought the world” = “invented” powdered peanut butter? Coulda’ come in on a UFO.

[NonValueAdded]

Wouldn’t that be thinking outside the jar?

[ovrtaxt]

Powdered Peanut Butter would go great with...

POWDERED TOAST MAN!!!!

"It tastes just like sawdust!"

[elkfersupper]

Exploring, drilling, refining and distributing our own oil while building a few dozen nuclear power plants and getting federal, state and local governments out of the way could end the energy crisis.

And I'm not even a scientist.

Solid sewage could be converted to hydrocarbons.

Finally..we have discovered the benefit of Hollyweird!

We could use Frozen heat to power a manned mission to the sun. The intense heat of the sun would be avoided by launching at night.

“And what volume of biomass is required to supply the energy demands of America.”

Maybe only enough to bring the price of imported oil down to $30 a barrel.

[I see my hands]

You might want to do some research in Alabama. I heard it once rained all night but the weather it was dry and the sun was so hot people froze to death.

[Revolting cat!]

Me, I’ve been waiting for someone to invent hot ice cream!

[gusopol3]

couldn’t we just get the caribou in ANWAR to produce the methane and forget all this other stuff?

[groanup]

We’ll never be able to solve our energy problems until we learn to freeze heat

I knew a guy who lived in Northern Canada. He lit a match in January and the flame froze solid. He had to carry it around until May when it thawed out so it wouldn't start a fire.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

What if the entire Earth becomes engulfed in slime from this scientific experiment run amok?

[eyedigress]

Since peanut growers are “hand-picked” he’s not that far out. Sounds like a pissed off ag-man!

[A CA Guy]

ISLAM?

[carumba]

WeÂ’ll never be able to solve our energy problems until we learn to freeze heat.

OK this will happen with cold fusion, time travel, and alchemy.
