They found a microbe that eats cellulose (wood and plant stems) and farts diesel fuel!

Which way? The eating wood part or farting diesel?

Yup, it's called "SBD." Which stands for "Skidmark BioDiesel."

Great, now if they'd let us buy diesel cars in this country again, we'd be somewhere!!! I hear some models coming 2010 _finally_ to be allowed again (NOx clean emissions, etc...).

I saw on Dirty Jobs show on Discovery where guy had shop for creating cooking oil biodiesel, from collection at restaurants to filling the tank. Would be cool if neighborhoods would create some co-ops to do this. Franchise anyone? I hear some cities do this as programs (avoid oil in sewage, drains, garbage... use for city vehicles). Privateers should get into it more.
