Things that should get more attention

A silicon valley startup is trying to scale up bio-engineered bacteria that turn bio-waste (grass clippings, food waste, etc.) directly into oil.

This is interesting because if it works and is scaleable the numbers actually work for getting us off foreign oil; unlike ethanol which just doesn't measure up.
