But a new discovery is bacteria that live two miles deep in the earth and use naturally occurring uranium to break down water into usable energy.

I find this exciting because it points to yet another abode that we might examine and another ecological niche.

From the article:

However, they function similar to photosynthetic organisms that capture sunlight and turn it to energy for other organisms.
