Bacteria-powered batteries... Wow... I find it creepy as well as amazing.

I kind of feel pity for these little fellows!

Read something similar the other day, and I find it very interesting. It's highly likely that a lot of our food and energy needs will be met by such design in the future. Bacteria can do a lot of clever stuff :)

That is pretty cool- I would personally love to see more natural, supposedly eco-friendly batteries out there.  I am one of the terrible polluter types that doesn't use rechargeable batteries as I find them too much of a pain in the arse, and I'd feel a lot better about myself if the batteries I was using weren't full of heavy metals and toxic acids.
