Not to be picky, but the microbe is not new - discovery is what's new. Anyway, nature seems to have a way of helping itself out in these situations. Hmm... I wonder if oil is being created way down deep in the earth? Not just a finite amount that was left there by whatever process... Maybe the earth has been making crude oil since its creation. Anyway, since I live not far from the gulf, I will take all the help we can get down here.
