Send all of your sugar to D.C. and begin a new industrial revolution with “alternative energy”!
As the E. coli capital of the world, D.C. will have solved our energy crisis!

I guarantee that neither of them ever “occupied” anything except a study carrel in the library during their years in college.
Bravo to these pioneers of science.

But E. coli's natural conversion capability is not up to snuff, commercially speaking, and researchers tinkering with its internal machinery have yet to boost its capability enough to cross the commercial threshold. But maybe, perhaps, someday, it might, if, with more grants...

I’d like to see E. coli injected into the Princess’s face.
I bet it would help.

You’ve been posting these types of stories for awhile. They are entertaining and offer people hope. I’ve been following such stories for decades. How many of these “too good to be true” PR releases from academics have foretold actual products?

I can tell you one thing, I will NEVER put bio-diesel in either my car or truck’s tanks.
That stuff is junk ... pure and simple.
Very bad for the fuel system.
