All this talk about oil lately, the evil oil companies and offshore drilling has got me thinking, what do you guys want with old, dirty, expensive carbon emitting oil when we can easily have carbon neutral bug created petrol for around $50 a barrel?

Basically, scientists have created bugs that poo petroleum, not oil but processed oil that's ready to go into your car when it comes out the bug's butt!
According to the article they'll have a plant up by 2010.
Oh, did I mention the bug poo petrol is carbon neutral?
This is the future of energy.
Either our politician's don't know about this (which would mean they have their heads firmly stuck in the sand) or both political parties are just using oil as a campaign issue.
I'm pretty sure if we could get this reported on in the MM it might kill McCain's call for offshore drilling.
This story makes McCain look out of touch and old-fashioned, not up to date with the latest technology, which you would expect from an 71-year-old man.
