Title: New Technology - Increase Biofuel - Ethanol

This is not overunity (Sorry), but worth checking out.

The simple explanation is that these guys have worked out how to make plants evolve.  This isnt genetic engineering, but true evolution.
This means they can make plants grow much quicker and produce more Oil, fruit etc.  Also they can make plants grow in arid and saline regions.
I believe they are the only company that have this particular technology?
It has the potential to make biofuels cheaper and more productive (& solve world hunger :) )
Worth a look

really cool stuff....growing 30% faster could really do a lot in terms of biofuel.
now we just gotta worry about the soil being depleted.... ;)

Yep, there is good reason that plants, animals dont grow too fast, big, vicious, etc. But we humans know best...
