Renewable Oil

There you go... finally someone came up with the obvious. That's GE; there's apparently another company doing the same.

This really does appeal to me a heck of a lot more than Priuses - Priusi? - and their ilk.

It's the same thing as with diamonds - they can now be manufactured cheaply and identically to "real" diamonds. In their case, however, the industry has no need for extra capacity. In oil, I daresay scarcity will make this sort of solution rather popular.
