I have no reason to believe that.
EDITED - I just noticed that they have 2 patent applications pending - I will review and post again.Sure you do. You've got a huge number. But like apple pie eating Americans who desperately don't want to believe that their govt. was involved in 911, you desperately want to believe that something as obviously stupid as "leveraging sunlight" with "
E. coli" to produce "drop in" substitutes for oil, with ZERO evidence of ANYTHING is
almost here.
So here's the first question - where are the patent applications? If they truly have invented a new
E. coli strain that is capable of photosynthesizing an oil substitute, then am I supposed to believe that they have intentionally NOT filed any patent applications? Patents publish 18 months from filing date. So where are they?
What's that?
Not a one?
You mean to tell me that they have a way to pull CO2 out of the air and make ETOH or a complex alkane and they're taking the risk that somebody else publishes an article on a similar technology and obviates their right to a patent? For a game-changing invention?
And how about even a topical discussion of the actual gene pathways involved?
Let's forget for a second that E. coli is an enterobacter and has ZERO photosynthetic capability. Let's forget for a second that stably transforming an E. coli with the complex of genes required to allow the stable synthesis of a chloroplast or equivalent structure would be a monstrous undertaking at best. Let's forget that E. coli, even if made photosynthetic to produce ethanol or an alkane of sorts, would still need to be supplied with nutrients and so on . . .
. . . the concept that this can be scaled and fuel produced therefrom is ludicrous.
Why go to all the trouble of making E. coli photosynthetic when you could simply start with something already photosynthetic?
Here's where you are at Carl -
You have nothing to go on except broad generalization and 50 dollar illustrations on a website . . . oh, and a website "red herring" award.
There is a chasmic gap is the evidence, as no patent apps have been filed.
Like all charlatans from the Wizard of Oz to wrist magnets for cancer suppression, these hucksters rely on your gullibility to believe that "secret technology" will support their claim.
You've got nothing but religion on this one, and in this regard you are the supporter of the official version of 911, which says that magic E. coli, with no supporting evidence, brought down the towers.
