Drive on!
We'll drive into the future and clean up waste at the same time.

That would be one bug I wouldn't mind seeing when I turned on the lights.

So how many thousands of bugs do you need to create a gallon of fuel?

I heard there is already shortage of these bugs because they are storing them for future use so the price is now being driven up.

Actually this is but one approach to liquid fuels. It is looking quite interesting. There are many others. The most positive thing is that they are being done with private money, not government. Business ventures know that you have to provide a better product at a lower price to succeed. As an engineer and retired CEO, I am quite encouraged by what I am reading on many technical websites. There are interesting developments in batteries and ultra capacitors that could make solar and wind practical in the foreseeable future. It is good to see the mainstream press covering this story.

Now all we need to find is a bug that eats abandoned slum buildings and poops out pristine oceanfront property!

Maybe so, but I would rather eat the bugs....good source of protein, especially when chocolate covered.

I read the article. It sounds like something that should have been dated April 1st.
