        If true, this is one of the biggest discoveries in recent history. Real Nobel Prize stuff.

        I remember reading a science fiction (don't remember the name) on the topic more than 30 years ago. According to that story, the discovery turned out to be a nightmare as it started to eat electric wire insulation, causing horrible short-circuit induced disaster.

        Or we could reduce the number of plastic bottles we use and ensure that those we do use are recycled.
