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.

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

The organisms eat the waste products and excrete crude oil.

Too dais-ex-machina for me...

Ok so they excrete crude oil. That means you have an oil spill. You’ll have to spend millions to clean that up, restore the environment, fines and so forth.

Oh and they wouldn’t allow you to drill for it anyway.

I thought it started with microbes that could eat oil after an oil spill @$40 bbl.....at $130bbl they can reverse the process?

What happens if they get mixed up?

The nothing? How about agricultural waste--wood chips or straw or other biomass.

Oh yeah! Who needs compost for soil when we can put it on a chemical diet? Especially when we can put a claque of techno-whores on carbon credits so that they'll always vote for enviro-racketeering power freaks!

Great idea. /s

As always just a few years down the road and no cost estimate. Something like the oil from algae facility that was going to be built in the Arizona desert, 12 square miles of ponds.
Right.

There have been quite a few posts about this technology. Check out threads where BellPlantation posts. He has a company doing something similar in Tifton, Georgia.

Check Bell Plantation and Bell_Energy from Georgia. They have an engineered “bug” eating grass and like bio-mass that is producing hydrocarbons. Things are working well in the lab and a test plant should be running in aTest plant should be running in a couple of months. http://wordpress.com/tag/jc-bell/

There is also some talk about bacteria in the Earth producing oil to begin with. Which would make oil the ultimate renewable resource. Wouldn’t it be great if all those pools of oil under the earth are the result of recycling?
It would be fun to see greens foam at the mouth.
