Could Poop Power Your Car?

Could the No. 1 choice in the continuing search for an alternative vehicle fuel actually be No. 2?

Idaho definitely believes so.

The state, now the United States' No. 3 milk producer with 550,000 cows, is hoping to turn the manure from those cows into natural gas that not only can fire turbines to produce more electricity, but also fuel vehicles.

"We can put together the right package and right mechanism to help move it along," Idaho's energy czar, Paul Kjellander, said. "You've got to have somebody locally who is ready to take the risk and move this forward. But the state can provide the right type of incentives."

Similar efforts are already underway in Texas, Oregon and especially in California, which outpaces all other states when it comes to alternative energy and is home to more than 192 natural gas fueling stations.

14. More poo research floats to the top.

I don't remember who or where, but, this research to convert poop into fuel has been out there for almost 20 years that I know of. If would be great if they use it. What a waste of waste it would be otherwise.:silly:
