Wanna bet BP and Exxon are working their ass off to BURY this?

The tech is a bacteria laden band-aid for a scab that needs to heal before it infects the rest of the body.

As long as it's just a stepping stone on a path away from fossil fuels...it should do for now.

But Asimovs Time Enough For Love probably bears more responsibility for any Extropian tendencies than any other single book. Who doesn't want a talking mule?

Except that Asimov, as a trained biochemist, wasn't going to take any such nonsense serious. Which is why the Extropians are keener to talk up people who can take the sort of crap Niven passes off as "hard SF" seriously.

(And that one's by Heinlein, btw.)
