I was reading popular mechanics the other day, they mentioned something about that, but didn't go into detail. Pretty neat.

I wouldn't dare tell Turbo or Norm what I'm feeding them.

I imagine it would not taste anything like D2 or CornyD

I think I saw this in the news a few months back. If I'm not mistaken its in a development center. Sort of an industial zone setup. Basically, incentives such as cheap rent to help them and other bussnises get started. Between that and alge production, a least there is hope.

I wonder if it's really as easy as giving feedstock to the algae and it "poops" a diesel equivalent.

In the algae to biodiesel process, oil extraction is a large hurdle, then it still needs to be processed into fuel. If this variation of E Coli can ferment into a biodiesel, that would be incredible.

This and low taxes help stimulate the economy and encourage investment! How long do you think we would have even this kind of small growth if Obama got elected? He has made so many promises already that we would be on the hook for $5600.00 so far and that does not include his global poverty tax!
