from the "oils swell" dept.


The Times of London has a story that seems to point to a cure for our high priced oil. Stop using it? Nah. Get bugs to poop it!

Scientists find bugs that eat waste and excrete petrol

To be more precise: the genetic alteration of bugs – very, very small ones – so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchips or wheat straw, they do something extraordinary. They excrete crude oil. [ MORE ]

Could oil pooping bugs be this century's electric car? Only the oil companies know for sure...

Cheers!
