Fungus Fuel
A tree-living fungus that manufactures diesel fuel has been discovered in South America.
Experts believe the organism, Gliocladium roseum, could potentially be a completely new source of green energy.
The fungus, which lives inside the Ulmo tree in the Patagonian rainforest, naturally produces hydrocarbon fuel similar to the diesel usedin cars and trucks.
Myself, I like the fact that is was discovered in Patagonia, which is not only the land of the giants where Setebos is worshiped, but also the home of the weary second civilization of First Men once the Sino-American World-State returns to the stone ages due to aeroplane-induced racial degradation.
