Although the Tifton Gazette is a member of the Associated Press, no other papers picked up the article and ran it. Please, go there now and read it.

Answer 1

That is so Freaking awesome but they already tried to make a new car called the EV1 and the oil industry bought controlling stocks and destroyed it so that might happen agian if the oil industry goes down.

Answer 2

That's amazing!  Something like this would definitely reduce our dependence on foreign oil.  I think we should take advantage of such a discovery.

Answer 3

It sounds great.. however there are many questions that are unanswered in the article:   the most important being the time necessary to commercialize the discovery and the costs involved

I also question about genetic modification.. if the genetically modified bacteria gets loose in the environment can they be controlled?  

So there are a lot of questions about the discovery that could keep it from any major impact for years..

Answer 4

I don't know, but if a company successfully starts using this technology, I'll buy some stock on it.

Answer 5

The oil companies love to supress any information of this kind
