Poop-powered cars in UK

[LiberalEsto]

My dogs and cats could probably produce enough to keep our cars on the road.

This is from BBC News:

"A "poo-powered" VW Beetle has taken to the streets of Bristol in an attempt to encourage sustainable motoring.

The Bio-Bug runs on processed methane gas generated as part of the raw sewage treatment process.

Wessex Water engineers estimate the yearly waste from 70 average households would generate enough gas to run the car for 10,000 miles (16,100km).

Despite being powered by fuel created from sewage, the car does not smell unpleasant.

"It performs like a normal car - you wouldn't know it was powered by biogas," a company spokesman said."

1. I posted this

the day it happened here in the UK yesterday as LBN because I really thought it was an important development. It was promptly moved to GD presumably as being of no real importance. Carry on with your thirst for oil USA and any unfortunate leaks just deal with them.

2. I suggest we place collection bins on the Republican side of Congress...

We'll never have an "energy crisis" again!

And we can still call it "fossil fuel."
