FUCK OPEC....WE GOT BUGS!!!!

It seems the folks in Silicon Valley have genetically altered little bugs so that they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchips or wheat straw, and then shit out crude oil... LMAO.
Unbelievably, this is NOT science fiction.
This picture shows some diesel fuel produced by genetically modified bugs

The company (LS9) claims that this “Oil 2.0” will not only be renewable but also carbon negative – meaning that the carbon it emits will be less than that sucked from the atmosphere by the raw materials from which it is made.

LS9 is one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley that have turned away
from traditional high-tech activities such as software and networking and embarked instead on an extraordinary race to make $140-a-barrel oil from Saudi Arabia obsolete.

LS9 has already convinced one oil industry veteran of its plan:
Bob Walsh, 50, who now serves as the firm’s president after a 26-year career at Shell oil company.
They have also received $20 Million in start-up money from investors interested in this project.

Because crude oil is only a few molecular stages removed from the fatty acids normally excreted by yeast or E. coli during fermentation, it does not take much fiddling to get the desired result.
For fermentation to take place you need raw material, or feedstock. Anything will do as long as it can be broken down into sugars.

LS9’s bugs are single-cell organisms. They start out as industrial yeast or nonpathogenic strains of E. coli, but then LS9 modifies them by custom-de-signing their DNA.

However, we should really not get our hopes up to high just yet because in order to substitute America’s weekly oil consumption of 143 million barrels, you would need a facility that covered about 205 square miles, an area roughly the size of Chicago.

But hey at least someone is thinking about alternatives to muzzie oil!!!
