The next step is life forms that .............. give off fuel such as methane gas as waste, according to Venter.
We already have life forms that do that. Cattle, sheep & human beings.
Cattle produce more global warming gases than cars

Personally I think we'll be using "Gas Trousers" soon that hold in the smell and are utilised as a source of natural gas to power vehicles etc.
We'll of course have to make baked beans and curry (with cabbage) an obligatory dish

How's it matter if I've already got the matter? It's an infusion of anti-matter that causes the confusion; matter/anti-matter, head explodes...
