My only question... If this is such a great discovery which hopefully it is, where is the coverage from major news networks? If unlimited oil came out I would expect it to be all over the tv

same reason you don't hear much about the development of the virus that only attacks cancer cells. hope doesn't get ratings, fear does.

I don't agree with this. Probably 99% of the population doesn't understand engineered viruses and as a result aren't interested in hearing about it until the concept fulfills its potential. Everyone understands the concept of unlimited oil. It hasn't received any mainstream coverage because it is probably a pipe dream.

but what percentage of the public understands abiogenic precursor molecules? i think it's just not being reported because nobody thinks it can get as many ratings as how jessica simpson is coping with her lost dog.

because it goes 100% against the green agenda that the government is wielding as a wedge to gain more authority over our lives and the news is in the tank for em?

I think it is bigger than a Miata. With 1,500hp and 1,600lb/ft of torque it would probably tear a Miata in half too.

People will care about viruses engineered to attack cancer when they are available. They will care about synthetically created crude oil when it is available.

From working at a machine shop I have learned that there is nothing a welder, cutting torch and more metal can't fix. Maybe we can put the motor in the back of a dully.
