They don't mention what the ratio is in mass of "trash" to mass of oil produced, but there's definately not a shortage of trash and it doesn't necessarily have to replace oil drilling all together, its possible it could significantly lighten the necessity of buying oil from the Saudis (though drilling in our own country would do that, too). That would be a lot right there. And its not like growing bacteria is difficult, a lot of bacterias double in population everyday given enough food. Definately have to know more about it before we start planning the future, but just the fact that they're getting bacteria to make oil is pretty damn impressive in and of itself.

Or perhaps oil based products, like nylon... swimwear even... and they could poop... aphrodisiacs. Yes, we'd just need some type of deployment system, like a squirt gun, perhaps even some sort of beachball coating. Maybe an aerosol spray form that could be quickly applied to beachballs, volleyballs, beach blankets or sunscreen.
Yes, the conspiracy sees many positive applications for this technology. | Originally Posted by Igor | | You know, I'll never forget my old dad.
