Big mouthful, that last clause. Genetic engineering on a low tech level has been going on since Gregor Mendel was counting peas. If the products of genetic engineering have been allowed into our food supply - why is there an urgent resistance to the concept for our energy and material needs? The cat got howdt of the bag years ago - the time for this debate was in the 70's abd 80's. It's here, now and not to use it is just an advantage for the higher moral ethics crowd to lose market share to the monsantos of the world. remember - trees are not food yet.
As to carbon sequestration of carbon dioxide for coal burning plants as a future technology that will be there when we need it - but let's legislate as if it were here, now - is talk leading to disaster. We need less regulation and more innovation. Regulation enforcement should not be a leading growth industry. The world has become an overripe peach. Too much syrup and not enough juice.
