It Will Never Work

British scientists have announced a new method to generate hydrogen to power fuel cells. Using only all natural ingredients, too! They fed a dilute mixture of waste caramel and nougat to Escherichia coli bacteria, which then began producing sufficient pure hydrogen to power a small fuel cell. The scientists say the method could be used in the future to provide energy. The headline for the story announces that chocolate eating bugs will provide the fuel of the future.

Let's be quite clear about this. No matter how bad energy shortages get if you try to take chocolate away from people like my wife, you are in for a big surprise.
