i'm lesley stahl. in this edition, we look at the business of powering the planet.e meet a group of overnight millionaires getting rich from gas dug out of rocks. we also take a look at the financial promise of an emerging science known as synthetic biology. and finally, we examine an alternative car fuel that you probably never heard of: laptop computer batteries. we begin with an unconventional process for extracting natural gas from shale, a dense rock formation two miles underground. it's being touted as the hope of the future, the answer to our energy problems. and if you're sitting on top of it, you may become a new american phenomenon: a shaleionaire. and yet, as we all know, exploring for energy has safety risks. but as we first reported in the fall of 2010, that can get lost in all the excitement. what's increasingly evident is that shale gas is overwhelmingly abundant right here in the usa. >> in the last few years, we've discovered the equivalent of two saudi arabias of oil in the form of natural gas in the united states. not one but two. >> we have twice
