BBC News - 'Poo-powered' car seen on the streets of Bristol

You'd be all good at it.

poops usually coming out warm.

Only if they use my idea i posted above.

Anybody that eats beans provides the best. Arizona shot themselves in the foot on this one.
Ain't Karma a bitch!

Oh thats so good. I'm willing to bet Arizona doesn't see it like that.

Mexico will have to build a fence and create a border patrol to keep illegal Arizonians out. They will be trying to steal their poo and sell it on the black market.

Black market Poo thats got to be high grade shit.

I don't know corn makes a lot of gas when added to the proper ingredients

High octane!

Apparently cow poo works best. Since it creates more methane than ordinary poo.

Well I just got a dozen chickens so I guess I will be getting a cow next.

100 proof octane so when the car gets a flat you can drink the fuel.

Maybe that is how siphoning gas got started.

if you eat mothballs . .

LOL! hahaha! Nice

The new black gold .....

Yeppers!!

They need to do an upgrade on those damn catalytic converters.

It's running on poo. aka methane. Methane is one of the most toxic gasses we naturally see every day. It's more harmful than Carbon Dioxide.

When you burn methane, you produce water & carbon dioxide. It makes sense to use methane since you find it everywhere! Cows actually pollute the earth more than all of the cars on earth :) So use their poo!

on the bright side you can parl your car in the bathroom rofl...

On the darker side, it is your bathroom. It gives a whole new meaning to "Porta-Pottie"!

::giggle::

lol

AFTER it is processed , it has been transformed by microbes , it smells like the gas it is .

Isn't poo gas still kind of a fart? I guess in this case it would be a premium fart.

That is right , so , NO POO SMELL !

Actually , I think each population center should have their own bio fuel processing site . The space it takes is small compared to other energy plants . It would keep a lot of crap (organic matter , farm and yard waste too) out of the land fills , and that would save a lot of expense right there because it would only have to travel a short distance . No huge pipelines from siberia ...... or oil wells or giant tankers needed . I have not seen the numbers crunched , but it may be cheaper to build than what we currently operate now . We could use the same "gas" stations , could we not ?

Distributed energy production I think is an excellent idea. If biomass is processed near where it's produced, you avoid some level of transportation expense. The permaculture, green economics dream, of course, is a highly distributed, almost anarchic, array of food, energy and water production and distribution.

But, a cautionary note: China tried approximately to build a system of this kind during the Cultural Revolution. It was a total disaster resulting in the deaths of millions, perhaps tens of millions. Probably a close of examination of that failure would be helpful in developing an effective plan for distributed food, water and energy.

And, if you're interested at all in Asian history, you might find it very ironic that China--the great originator of centralized natural resource management--attempted at all to build a decentralized industrial system. (Hardly the static despotism that most Western scholars attribute to Asian governmental systems.)

Have conditions and technologies changed since 1966? My answer is yes. Combinations of decentralisation and centralisation are common now.

asiasuperloop , I am interested , what exactly went wrong and where can I find the info about it ?

The window sticker, "Baby on board" has a whole new value.

LOL, we are gonna be rich!!!!

In this case, take a drive down the highway and look to your right and look to your left and you will see many little tankers driving by; especially, in Utah!

Can you say "lack of innovation"? Do you work for BP?
For Christ's sake, the USA was a great innovator at one time. What the hell happened?

Pretending that corporations are not evil and wouldn't stop at nothing to prevent anything from interfering with profit is naive. Maybe it is not the only factor, but it is a factor.

There was a documentary on the psychological make up of corporations as if they were held to same standards as a human being. If you believe that a serial killer is evil then you might tend to agree that the same diagnosis applied to the behavior of a corporation is more than valid.

Actually, if you paid attention to my posts, you would know that I treat the government with equal skepticism. I am not religious either, but good and evil exist and are manifested in actions that help or harm human beings. If you can not comprehend that, than there is nothing more to discuss.

If it were made where it got used , in small quantities , with proper safety procedures , there would be less of a problem . Are you one of those people that thinks we did NOT go to the moon ? Because I think this is totally doable . And we wouldn't be killing the oceans . Which seems to be a MASSIVE safety issue to me . As well as a long term planet human survival issue .

A lot of people , just fear change too .

Is THAT your reason ? hehehehehe !

Changing a baby diaper puts the fear of God into me!

there is more to life than money . BP will never go for it because it will never give them POWER . If every community is supplying its own resources , this is a LATERAL power structure , not a top down one . A top down structure can consolidate power , a lateral one ? Not so much . POWER TO THE PEOPLE !

True, but one of the main points about this technology is that it saves you money. It's no use going for green energy if it's going to cost you more than the existing energy solutions.
