Better Use of Jellyfish

**Two things I hate are (a.) gas prices and (b.) jellyfish. Both commodities have been becoming problems throughout the nations. Gas prices are sky rocketing due to lack of resources and jellyfish have been much more prevalent the last few years. A new species of jellyfish was actually recently discovered in Australia. The Irkandji Jellyfish is a deadly sea creature that is responsible for +70 recorded deaths. Even the average jellyfish is nuisance. These types of marine animals drive me crazy. One summer down the shore, as my friend and I were collecting (and killing) all the jellyfish we came across, we thought of what we conceive to be a great idea. We should use jellyfish to fuel vehicles.
**To us, jellyfish were just annoying pieces of goo stinging us while ruining our fun. We saw no importance for them, though of course we knew God made them for a reason. When researched, I learned that jellyfish are a form of plankton and several other marine animals such as turtles and crabs feed off them. Other than that, they don't seem to have a huge role in the ecological system of our environment. Therefore, I still believe my plan is almighty. Without wiping out the entire jelly population, scientist could extract the proteins from these creatures and generate electric currents. Currently, natural gas is at an alarming rate yet jellyfish are evolving hastily. I say we take advantage of this sea residence and help calm the utilization of gas.
