Comments on: Man-Made Bacteria Produces a Fuel That's Better Than Gas http://gas2.org/2008/12/09/man-made-bacteria-produces-a-fuel-thats-better-than-gas/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

(Referring of course to Big Oil.)

People will continue to use their cars, polute the environment and ruin the world for future generations. This just proves that humanity will put extreme amounts of effort into being lethargic and NOT changing. Just make a lifestyle change and leave the spoiled consumerist brat mentality behind.

Biomass, grasses, trees, peat, ferns, foliage trillions of tons of it have been breaking down for millions of years. This is the majority source of oil on this planet. Dinosaurs, animals? a very small contribution. Does anyone have any comprehension how many dinosaurs it would take to produce the oil that exsist(ed) here?

Out in space, the reverse is usually true: in the sun, Hydrogen is first fused into Helium, then into denser elements. The fact that some planets have lots of short-chain hydrocarbons is no surprise - thats what you tend to get when there are lots of volatile chemicals around. Finally, can someone explain this desire to produce a fuel that is identical to Petrol/Gasoline? Burning Ethanol is a much cleaner process than anything other than pure Hydrogen.
