Gas from bacteria

How many problems would be solved if gas were produced in a pond? Some see the fuel of the future as coming from engineered cyanobacteria. If they can just figure out how to collect the fuel produced in the ponds, their claims of being able to produce gas at $30 per barrel may come true. Here's to hoping they'll solve a lot of the tradeoffs we face today! Hat tip to class member Scott.
