Interesting comment came in regarding yesterday’s post…
A bug that eats straw and poops out gas…while this may sound like a good idea and our salvation, I don’t think it’s overly practical. The sheer number of bugs you would have to keep to get a tank of gas would be so huge; it wouldn’t even be worth doing. Exchanging a biodegradable product like “agricultural waste” for a toxin emitting substance…it’s not exactly my idea of salvation. More advanced technologies will save us, not bug poop. I think the only reason why we haven’t gotten rid of gas completely is because the automotive industry is so huge; the American economy could not take that kind of hit. So many companies would go under or suffer major losses due to the costs of converting their equipment and manpower to make a cleaner car, that’s why it has to be done slowly. I’m not in favor of high gas prices (especially since I want to buy a car), but I’m not in favor of global warming either…except in winter. I was going to look into getting a hybrid anyway….I wonder if I can get one used?
