CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- A Massachusetts biotechnology company says it can produce the fuel that runs Jaguars and jet engines using the same ingredients that make grass grow.

Joule Unlimited has invented a genetically-engineered organism that it says simply secretes diesel fuel or ethanol wherever it finds sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

Just proves to a lot of people that China is no longer a back water, you can't ignore it, we can't ignore it. We in the Western world will have to bring it into the fold, we must embrace China like we embraced modern Japan. If we don't it will be at our peril with millions of Chinese moving to urban areas every year. It will be a world power, if we dont co operate as inhabitants of the world now, it may be too late in the future.
