autoweek.com — Imagine converting virtually any waste--grass, municipal waste, old tires, wood chips--into fuel for your car. A company called Coskata claims it can do this using a patented bioreactor and anaerobic microbes found in nature.

I remember that in some tv series and these people had peanut oil which was worth more than gold. The microbes are according to the article patented but not modified - ie someone got a patent on something that is natural!

We should concentrate strictly on solar and harnessing the suns rays. Anything with a byproduct is bad news. Just because it doesn't use oil doesn't mean it's good. We have reached a point to where if we wanted we could make little to no impact on the environment (not including food supply) if we wanted to. It is just sad that so many bullheaded people choose to fight it when it would be just as easy to go with it.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda, but didn't. Viagra wasn't hyped about for 1000 years, it came out and caught the market. There didn't need millions of spam mails promoting a "1arger kok." When something comes out at $1 a gallon, it will sell, no hype involved. Just produce something i can cheaply put in my boat, mower, rail buggy, or car and i will buy it.

Someone I have been working for in the Uk is doing a similar thing.<a class="user" href="http://www.organic-power.co.uk/what_is_anaerobic_digestion.aspx">http://www.organic-power.co.uk/what_is_anaerobic_d ...</a>They are advocating that all other forms of converting Crops ie Rape Seed etc. Is waste of time, and a huge concpiracy, when the food we waste, can more easily be converted to the gas we need.But something tells me the people in charge aint going to do the right thing anytime soon.
