designer petrol from bacteria
If this ends up working on a large scale, it would be ridiculous.

Hopefully, we can stop buying oil, and have a permanant $1.00 a gallon fuel price.

You know how many bugs would be needed to sustain just say a state like Cali? This will not make oil from the Middle East obsolete unfortunately.
However....if Obama gets in as President....we will be off of oil. We will also be off of everything as we become a "turd world" country. You want a zero carbon emisssion vehicle with no "evil" energy required from the earth? Here it is...
Just don't fart while riding...the environmentalists might come after you.

yeah I agree this won't get the US off petrol completely - they said the plant would need to be the size of chicago and, the bigger problem is the food for the bacteria - there just isn't that much energy in woodchips or whatever they use - they're gonna need a really dense source of energy to let the bacteria turn into oil. Sugarcane comes to mind, but even then I bet the field would have to be 1/2 the size of the US.
Those complications aside, if we continue to innovate like this, someone will figure something out that works.

Where there's a will, there's a way.
