Yeah I get what you mean, there'll probably be uproar about it when the time comes closer.
Sure Ford have this 4x4 that's meant to be like a plug-in hybrid. There'll all jumping on the band wagon now :p
Tesla teamed up with Lotus to design their electric cars and they look unreal.

Bring on the electric cars! :O

The bugs are single celled lifeforms. The only time ants are mentioned is when it is explained that the little buggers are "each a fraction of a billionth the size of an ant."

yea... nothing to do with ants.

anyway, i'm a biotech major with a specific interest in green fuels.  here's some food for thought:

a genetically modified organism that feeds on cellulose and lignin (major structural components of wood) would, obviously, be able to degrade woodchips and other wood/straw products as mentioned in the article.  Suppose a single 'bug' is released to the environment... say... by a lazy or clumsy technician operating the fermentation vats.  Such a bug, invisible to the naked eye, would have essentially free reign on the entirety of civilization: most of our homes are built of wood, anyhow.  Not to mention crop and forest devastation.  Such an organism would have no competition since lignin can currently only be degraded by a select few number of organisms which do it rather slowly.  How would you stop such a problem?  Spray the entire world with antibiotic?  I dont think so...
