Default brew your own fuel?

well, here's good news for diesel owners. per last Popular Science magazine, there's a company in CA that already produces about a 1000 gallons of cheap biodiesel for the town they are in. they rigged E.Coly bacteria so that it brews ready to use fuel out off sugarcane. cost $50 a barrel, vs. $400 regular diesel fuel.
they are supposed to go into mass production in several yrs. also, they plan on bringing cost down to $8 barrel, when they will "teach" the bacteria how to do same from sawdust or woodchips.

about 2 mths ago there was article in Newsweek, with a guy who was 1st to descramble human genom. he is now finalizing process for genetically engeneered bacteria to brew ready to use gasoline out of something cheap, forgot what it was. he's planning on mass producing "personal" breweries so folks can brew their own gas in the backyard.

We have a company in Texas called Earth Biofuels that produces the brand name "Bio-Willie". The fuel sells at a couple of stations on I-45. Right now the company is hurting really bad, their stock is at .002...ouch. I have some shares...if it hits a a few bucks a share, everything will be A-Okay for me.
