That's cool! They showed something similar on Extreme 4x4 a few weeks ago about algae making bio diesel.

Very cool! Its nice to see people really exploring every avenue to make better use of our resources. In our saltwater aquariums systems we use algae scrubbers for nutrient export, the algae in these systems grow incredibly fast.

Designer microbes that eat poop and poop oil!!!!
If they can pull it off every sewage treatment plant can produce oil!
It would be a great and amazing thing!

Yeah, but the speculators will just drive up the cost of a barrel of poop and we'll be right back where we are now...

Well, if it's poop you need I'm whipping up a batch right now.

Heck yes! If poop becomes valuable, I'm gonna be stinking rich.
