Above all, a great, great man. A few more like him and we would really change the world. A true human being. Congrats and all support: Fernando de Souza Díaz-Pavón

This is truly great, fabulous... To see this and realize that what we see is actual science; not SciFi or a group creating a "What If" scenario, but real, actual research bearing fruit!

This kind of research needs full funding, as I'm sure it gets in some other countries. This is the kind of thing that will save humanity - if we pay attention!

I saw the other video earlier which is very good for more details:

Renewable Energy from Synthetic Biology

This one was missing as an introduction and an overview.

It is the right composition of background and outlook with the main ideas,

and animated sugar crunchers at 2:30 are so nice.

Great video also to give it to young students as an introduction to make them curious for more.

Fabulous stuff.

Could this be the future? It's sure godda beat raping the planet drilling and mining for quickly depleting fossil fuels, and destroying vast swathes of land open casting or spilling millions of gallons of crude into the sea.

Interesting stuff indeed. I hope I live to see it coming to fruition.
