Comments on: Scientists Researching How Plants Can Make Petroleum http://gas2.org/2009/10/02/scientists-researching-how-plants-can-make-petroleum/ 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.

Not going to fuel your car from your garden or anything like that. Good basic research but the energy density will be very low – I doubt it will be useful in the near future.

Well we already have the first one. How long till we start the second?
