The only issue I saw was that everytime I would be stopped a traffic light next to a car that used the cooking oil based bio-diesel, I would get hungry for French Fries or Calamari!

I like this - Collect all the waste oil from In-N-Out and convert it to bio-diesel then run it in my diesel generator in the pits and I will have a bunch of hungry guys looking for the food!.

In the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Pa. area there are "gangs" stealing cooking oil from local restaurants!

Can we use human waste for energy?

Northumbrian Water is one company that is now a recognized expert in the use of what it calls "poo power" - using human waste to generate gas and electricity. The water firm was the first in the UK to use all its sludge - the goo generated after raw sewage has been treated - to produce renewable power.

So the septic tanks on motorhomes could be generators ! That's probably better than waiting for battery powered generator technology to catch up.

No it will not smell like french fries or calamari, but we'll never run out of this renewable energy source!
That also applies to some the bull**** posted on this thread including my own!

Cool Re: Did this just happen no generators?

Just saw a post on another site that should be our new motto, strategy and destiny. It shows a very serious bald eagle staring hard with the phrase under him that says, "We are no longer accepting things we cannot change. It is now time to change the things we cannot accept". Wow. It's about time.

If this is true then California alone and all their BS will have enough to power the whole country.
