OK....

But we're talking gene splicing here......now just imagine.........

There are a couple of critters that I've heard of that can generate a
substantial electric charge....one is an electric eel...and one other I
disremember.

Some plants....(such as certain grasses)...and even some trees....set out
'runners'...so that in reality they are a colony of plants all interconnetced.

So now let's imagine a little gene splicing.....we take what we need from the
electric eel...and from the colony plant of choice.

I'd suspect that it would be more effective to have a nutriet supply feeding
the bio-electric generator (no metal needed...and plants already have the
mechanism)....and then run wires away from a central point.....

So what if it there are acres of trees.....econazi's LIKE
trees....right?....It should be a win/ win situation for all
concerned....except OPEC...
