I do like science! But I'm probably not informed enough on this area to comment much beyond saying, sure, sounds better than fucking coal, better than fracking.
I'm a bit of a germophobe, so I'm going to need to look into the role of microbacteria and fungus and whatnot before I make any kind of definitive statement about how I feel about that in practice.
I read a really horrifying book once about microbial life run amok and essentially invading humanity through airborne spores that changed our biological makeup and "assimilated" us into its mass of spores and greenery. Fucking bloody terrifying.
I'm all over the place today. Sorry. Told you I was feeling silly and reading Terry Prachett.
More later! Maybe!!
