The Internet, which allows a lot of work and shopping to be done at home, is a good start. But proceeding from there will not be easy.
Interesting
There is so much waste material available. One would think there is oil in them thar hills (of waste)
Microbes have been used for year to turn industial and municipal waste into inert sludge.
That's a big red flag right there as to the credibility of this "technology."
That there aren't venture capitalists stepping all over each other for a chance to watch a demonstration tells me that this is a con.
Most projects such as this are conducted in concert with a university lab and there are more venture capitalists hanging around those labs than four-eyed bio-nerds.
I smell a lab rat.
Guess I'm gonna haveta go out to the barn an dig around and find Grandpaws old still. LOL
Interesting (seriesly), but can't resist asking if this stuff will work in my flying car??

This is OUTRAGEOUS! These defenseless bugs are kept in tiny cages with no freedom of movement. They are force fed and given hormones to fatten them up.

Horror/disaster book out a few years ago about "biologics" that were designed to eat the oil spill residue.
Got out of control/mutated once they were released to clean up an oil spill off of CA's coast, and were found to be able to eat ANY form of rubber/plastic/poly-based organic compound. Windshield wipers, lube oil, rubber seals around airplane windshields, gaskets, pumps, seals, hoses, springs, clamps, ......
So, the nation and world was reduced to mid-1800's technology, since nothing more recent could operate.
While this is the only line of research that will turn ethanol into a productive alternative to oil, it has real and serious dangers to the environment if done improperly.
This kind of thing has been done before, and the research was stopped for pretty good environmental reasons. This method should be limited to recreating the enzymes and the digestive process, not genetically modifying whole organisms. If this can be done safely, and in commercial quantities, I'm all for it, including government research and funding.
I'm waitin for something to come crawling out of a landfill that just loves the taste of polyester plastics.
The first indication that it got loose is when people are driving down the interstates and allofasudden their bumper just sorta falls off.
"Breaking cellulose into sugar to spin straw into ethanol has been studied for at least 50 years. But the technological hurdles and costs have been so daunting that most ethanol producers have relied on heavy government subsidies to squeeze fuel from corn."
Welcome to my world. Many layers of Wisconsin Buracracy are involved in foisting Ethanol onto the consumers in Wisconsin. :(
I always wondered why God put these things on earth. Now I know. It just goes to show, God don't make no junk.
