Green Jelly Energy

Somehere in China scientists are researching a new creature that looks like green jelly. This jelly can double in size by eating itself. If it can be used as an energy form it could be very useful. For now it is useless but a breakthrough could change that. If it is edible it could be a solution to the food crisis. If it isn't and its energy can be harnessed it might solve a renewable energy problem.
