When politicians start putting their boots on necks, remember the old expression, "First Obama came for Tony Hayward and Big Oil, but those bastards deserved it. Then they came for ..."
Precisely. Everyone's rights need to be respected, or none are safe.
Can't claim any great expertise in the subject, but I do grasp things of biological nature, and I like the idea of using microorganisms to produce fuels. They have developed genetically mutilated e. coli which can consume just about any carbs, and produce bio diesel.
I read that somewhere in the Rockies they are trying to heat oil rock deep in the ground, hoping to harvest the oil, once it boils out of the rock. The heating process is expected to take many years.
I think it would make far more sense to use bacteria which could digest the oil right out of the rock, and excrete gas - which could be harvested. The same approach, once developed, would make sense with Canadian and other oil sands. Why dig them out and cook them if it may be possible to convert the trapped oil into gas in situ.
(btw, what is inductive cooking? -g)
Edit, never mind, I googled it and found out. It seems they call it induction. Is it any good? |
