Potential breakthrough in creation of renewable oil receiving too little attention?
WorldNetDaily has published a story about a new process that, if it’s economically viable, would use bacteria to break down organic matter like grass clippings and wood chips and convert it into cheap hydrocarbons: the basis of gasoline and diesel fuel. Which would mean a renewable supply of oil for the first time in human history. The guy who came up with the process has calculated that from 2 billion tons of biomass, 5 billion barrels of oil could be made each year.
Based on what I’ve read about it, it makes plenty of sense. Consider that this organic material received its energy from the Sun to begin with.

Fred Thompson as an example of media controlling perception
“Rivals try to deflate F. Thompson campaign”
Why should this be so important?
Rivals have tried to “deflate” their political opponents since the dawn of time. And there’s been plenty of corporate-driven attempts lately to “deflate” candidates like Ron Paul. Especially like Ron Paul. Don’t they warrant the same level of concern?
A lot of people in the parties and the media would really like it if “their choice” Fred Thompson is, in the minds of the American people, made out to be an “unfair target” of other candidates. Didn’t we see enough of that when Bill Clinton was running for President?...
