Gas and Oil--The Future?

OK, I bummed myself out yesterday reading the article in National Geographic, and my friend Fenchurch comes to the rescue (see comment on my previous post about gas and oil). I read the article mentioned, and it gave me hope. There are scientists who have found a way to genetically modify a microscopic organism so that it excretes petroleum! Wow! Go take a look for yourself. We're a long way from replacing any of our fuel with this "Oil 2.0," as the article calls it, but who knows? This could be the start of something big.
