If you solve it, do you think you'll get and accept an offer you can't refuse from the oil companies? Craig Venter seems to have already taken an offer that he couldn't refuse from said companies.
Do you think anyone in the field is brave enough to go around the oil companies or is their distribution infrastructure too much to ignore?
