Fuel From CO2 Directly, Using Bacteria!

This right here is pretty amazing.

Pointy-headed scientists genetically modified some slime. Now it can take carbon dioxide and turn it directly into fuel.

Let me be the first to point out the obvious cruelty!!! of imprisoning these poor bacteria and forcing them to live and procreate as they would normally slave away for species-ists' benefit! This is an OUTRAGE!!!1!

I also parrot the argument against re-use of sequestered CO₂ that I heard seriously propounded on NPR: It's a waste of effort! The total pollution of CO₂ has not been reduced! The time of release has merely been pushed back! (Nevermind, I suppose, all the benefits of using the fuel in the interim.)

I'm just saying: there's no winning with some people. Those environmentalists who despair of everything man can do because it leads to death of the earth, should feel free to swallow a bullet and remove themselves from the polluting mass of humans overburdening our planet.
