Sounds like Wiltholt has already bioengineered some heavy duty smokeums. I'm not selling my generator just yet. Kirk

At a recent scientific conference in Berlin, Wiltholt suggested that trees might be genetically engineered to produce electricity using the bioprocesses of electric eels (source: Vancouver Province, October 25, 2001, page A33c). Without access to any literature referencing this technology, I'm reluctant to endorse the idea but it is easy to imagine just how hopeful or hopeless it actually is. Plant a couple of eTrees in your yard and voila, all your power needs are fulfilled, assuming you can find the damn power outlets, of course.
