It makes me wonder if a fungus makes diesel in a forest how is the forest not killed. I think we are in for an Obamamiracle soon, but I am afraid it will not be the miracle everyone is looking for. Currently I am in the process of joining the military, and there have been many people telling me there will be more deployment with Obama as Persident. I don't know if that will prove to be true, but they are people in positions that should be well informed (DoD type jobs). I have seen people use diesel to kill grass.

This is price-fixing, and it can get very political (Sunnis needed our soldiers in Iraq?) and very ugly! (George Bush allowed the murder of Sadam Husein) or it can get very expensive!($140.00 bbl oil last year) In the case of war, it can get impossible! They can turn off the tap after placing bets on the winner! What if they decide that we must send 12 year old American virgins for there "freedom fighters" rewards in exchange for oil? Why not? They get everything else they want! We must get off of foreign oil, and consume, in general, less oil at home! A fungus that produces diesel may not be the only answer, but a part of the many answers to the dilemma. God help America in her time of need, we want an Obamamiracle, Soon!

Gasoline (and ethanol, etc.) are flammable because they are volatile and the gases readily ignite. In a diesel engine, the fuel is first atomized so that the particles are small enough to ignite when exposed to a spark. A puddle of diesel would have a hard time doing much of anything.

This sounds awesome. Could you post a link to the abstract of their published article (like on pubmed for instance)? I'd like to see the primary literature for myself! Great article!
