All the confusion before you changed it has made me so curious about it.SteenWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:54:30 -0000http://scp.disqus.com/glum/#comment-4219137Tell that to all the bacteria I've been working with that consume oil! Oil has tons of energy tied up in all those bonds, the only reason most microorganisms don't use it is because they can't get past the whole insoluble-in-water-thing. But, for those that do find a way, oil = feast time.<br><br>In fact, that's why so many times we drill and think we found oil, only to find out it's all been chewed up and spoiled by bacteria already. Usually just a bunch of useless short-chain hydrocarbons are left. Just like if you left a piece of chicken on your countertop too long.SteenSat, 06 Dec 2008 00:04:33 -0000
