This sounds like a bad joke...Have you heard about the geneticist who designed a bug that eats wood and craps oil? Truth is stranger than fiction. My biggest problem with scientists is the complete lack of concern about whether or not we SHOULD do something just because we can. What consequences would a wood eating bug that craps petroleum have? It sounds like madness to me. Imagine if these bugs get loose, reproduce at an alarming rate and devastate fruit trees, virgin forests, national parks, or state parks. What then? We create a bug that eats the bug that gives off radiation when it dies? How about a bird or bat that eats this oil-flatuator and becomes some nightmare from a 60's Japanese monster movie. Maybe it's time to stop listening to morons like George Bush and make a real effort to establish on a national scale hydrogen or water burning vehicles, solar power, wind power and water power. Maybe we don't need to buy Mangos imported from South America or Africa and can eat local produce. Maybe we can stop driving Hummers and move toward fuel efficiency. Maybe we can work at home to conserve fuel. How about growing your own gardens and fruit trees? Genetic research is a great tool if used properly. It should be used to fight diseases and eliminate viruses and harmful bacteria, not to develop the latest fad quick fix to economic troubles we created for ourselves because we don't take control of our government.
