Although there has been some talk of microbes producing petroleum, this is the first time I had heard that a large-scale production facility would be ready to open in about three years.

It would be more efficient if the microbes could eat liberals and excrete crude oil, it seems there would be a never-ending supply! LOL

It might help, but there is no way you can run the American economy on microbe poop. There just won’t be enough of it.

The US Energy and Agriculture Departments said in 2005 that there was land available to produce enough biomass (nonedible plant parts) to replace 30 per cent of current liquid transport fuels. (from The Times)

Sounds like Congress, poop eating and excreting flatulant hot air.

There just wont be enough of it. How much is enough? And how do you know how much microbe poop is possible? I'm not so sure this is a "0/1" discreet type of outcome. I see it as more of a continuum in which this could make a contribution.

No, if microbes could eat liberals, the output would be the same as if you or I ate a hotdog or anything else. ;-)

The US uses around 20 million barrels of crude oil a day. So that is how much is enough for now. Worldwide consumption is around 80 million a day.

The organisms eat the waste products and excrete crude oil. Too dais-ex-machina for me...

30 days to fill one gas tank? Thats a little short of the 840 million gallons we consume daily.
