Human genome et al

Saw a speech by Craig Venter on BBC today. He spoke the human genome and his vision for the future. His prediction is that in the future synthetic chromosomes can be generated in the lab and they can also be used to create fuel cells in silos. This would help save the oil and coal dependency that is there and also reduce the huge carbon dioxide emissions that we have. This in turn would help us save our environment and create a ‘green’ world.

I am sure the oil industry won’t be happy about that. : (
