Bugs Can Spit Out Crude Oil

June 14th, 2008 Posted in Technology

Even though I drive a somewhat gas efficient vehicle, my wallet still hurts after a trip to the gas station. What can we do? Nothing. Maybe drive less, but public transit in Vancouver totally sucks. We, consumers, have to pay for whatever they want at the pump.

According to Times Online, people in Silicon Valley have developed some bugs that can eat away agricultural waste and can excrete petroleum. They are genetically altered bacteria that can produce a truly alternative fuel. What a great invention!

I don’t care what they use to spit out that oil. Let it be animals, insects, or bacterias. Just slash that high oil price I am paying for, then I will be happy.
