Do you think Chu himself will somehow advance synth bio from his perch in Energy, Carl? Will he pull strings elsewhere? Will other folks do it?

This is so exciting! A slightly off topic comment: There has been speculation that this scientist will not be able to deal with the politics in Washington. But any PI in a any big university or in a position such as Director of Lawrence Labs has most certainly had to deal with plenty of politics. I say good luck, Dr. Chu.

Love your site, Mr. Zimmer!

Federal appendages have goals of growth, invasion, and metathesis (e.g., Homeland Severity). Process not product! An advocate makes virtue of failure. The worse the cure the better the treatment – and the more that is required. America’s vast renewable fuel resource is bio-spermaceti. Restore and harvest the Grand Banks,

If all roads sloped downhill fuel consumption would be drastically, permanently reduced. It is an engineering and public works problem independent of science. No Chu-Chu train for America. Prayer and filled collection plates will save us. Test of faith!
