You have to invest in him BEFORE he succeeds! Buy & Hold? Well maybe a little bit.

If the guy succeeds in making fuel from carbon dioxide, he would be a rich man. at the same time, millions of motorcycles will remain on the road for centuries to come, thanks to him. i for one love the idea. im also interested in investing with him. that is if he succeeds

Yes, I also seem to remember stories about him. He was criticized during the genome mapping race, but he was also leading that race, as I recall, so I wondered about the criticism.

If this technology works, there’s going to be a big pile of money in it for someone but I would certainly rate this as highly speculative. The folks knowledgeable in this field can better decide that.

Of course, he’s not trying to bait the media: “modest goals of replacing the whole petrochemical industry,” I’m sure his tongue was firmly in his cheek at the time, but … you never know.

I remembered him from Celera Genomic Corp (CRA). I rode that media fueled stock from $40/share to 230ish and right back down to $80. I will never forget his name. He seems to be someone investors follow and are not afraid to throw money at.

His plans for mapping the Genome were technologically ahead and faster than the government funded project it competed with. He seemed to be some kind of renegade scientist entrepreneur. Anyway, I don’t doubt he will succeed and it will probably be a good media show if it is anything like CRA.

Cool stuff. I hope the suicide feature has a fall back plan.

Sounds like a great subtle bio-terror weapon, depending on the conditions needed to make it convert to fuel.

Not deadly, but I imagine a bit of this in every field in a foreign country would shut down the food supply as I imagine crops and fuel don’t mix.

I guess it all depends on what temperature the conversion needs to take place.
