Engineering bacteria to turn carbon dioxide into liquid fuel

From the CONTRIBUTION Dynamic;

Because we all care about our environment and that Physical legacy (Planet Earth) that we will leave behind as a legacy to our children. I found this wonderful article I would like to share with you all;

Global climate change has prompted efforts to drastically reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels.
In a new approach, researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have genetically modified a cyanobacterium to consume carbon dioxide and produce the liquid fuel isobutanol, which holds great potential as a gasoline alternative. The reaction is powered directly by energy from sunlight, through photosynthesis.

Because we care!
And remember that real leaders today face the music all the time, even when they do not like the tune.
