Comments on: Microbial Breakthrough to Make Diesel Directly From Non-Food Plant Waste http://gas2.org/2010/01/28/microbial-breakthrough-to-make-diesel-directly-from-non-food-plant-waste/ 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.

While they can survive for a while outside of a digestive system, they eventually die unless they are kept at body temperature and pH similar to what they require. I suppose that if you swallowed some of these e.coli, you might get sick from the diesel that they released in your intestines so you should probably not eat this stuff. Other good advice, don't drive drunk and don't stick sharp objects in your eye. The e.coli bacteria can only thrive in the conditions found in your intestines or the intestines of other mammals.

But if you run the numbers, the earth's capacity to produce biomass that we can responsibly convert to biofuel is only like 3% of our current energy needs. It's still useful, but it not the cure it's made out to be. "The best replacement for petroleum is petroleum", makes for a cute slogan. It's literally true if we assume petroleum is the best we can do, but it's not feasible. <a href="www.wattzon.com/pdfs/GamePlan_v1.0.pdf"[Study]</a> I used to get really excited about biofuel breakthroughs.

Well, at least diesel has a lower freezing point, because our world would get a heckuva lot colder than it is now. But, we can light our furnaces a lot easier by collecting the diesel rainfall.
