Oil-eating microbes produce green energy: It is estimated that oil sands -- or bituminous sands -- represent two thirds of the world's oil reserves. Still, it's expensive and difficult to extract oil from these sands. Even with today's crude oil prices, the industry is still looking for cheaper ways to produce energy from the so-called...; Tags: Oil, Carbon Dioxide, University Of Calgary, Hydrogen, Energy, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-12-14
