Sorry. that one is just silly. Must be on the list to pander to eco-nuts. This, too:

Only the demonstrated financial accomplishments on the list seem credible.

Much of stuff like this is largely built on promise rather than actual realism - like the 17 year old girl who won that science fair about curing cancer - I mean, its a commendable achievement for trying, but how realistic is it for a 17 year old to master the intricacies of drug vector design?

Bright ideas that we should definitely keep a tab on though!!
