Great idea until some idiot sticks one up their butts and it trades genes with E-coli.

Will Gavin Newsom, dictator of California now try to raise colonies of bacteria in California when they shut down all the oil, nukes, natural gas?

Maybe he can write an Executive Order that all electric autos now carry colonies of bacteria for their electric power.

“So let it be written! So let it be done!”

And fond memories of the sparks and fireworks, never to be seen again... No regrets but shocking remembrances.

Lots of big orgs “exhale”...(talk about dumbing down the audience) electricity...most famous...”the electric eel”...its been known, I have read that in 1911 it was known that some bacteria make electricity...even humans generate a small amount of electricity....

Can’t think of a good application right now but this really is intriguing. Bio-batteries and new types of sensors come to mind. For instance, a geobacter that could provide an early indication of a disease.
