This and several processes like it are why oil( natural or synthetic) will never go away. I read years ago that one process is already in large scale production.

I understood the us military has been using bio engineered fuels for certain ocean based craft for some years as it meets their standards and as a solely domestic controlled asset it is secure in time of war.

I was initially devastated by post #1, but pondering the serious issue raised I don't feel I've been had. Roadrunners are small and more agile than coyotes. And in this particular roadrunner was smart and the coyote stupid.

I'll take smart and agile over fast and stupid any day. The roadrunner will remain my role model.
