Poo Power

With any luck poop powered vehicles will either catch on or force the oil companies to drastically drop their prices along with their attitudes. A bus company in Reading,England has a fleet of 34 buses that run on converted cow manure. The cow droppings are converted into fuel through anaerobic digestion,which involves microorganisms breaking down the feces in an oxygen free environment. This process creates biogas,which is then processed to produce biomethane that can be used as fuel. They are called the "Bus Hound",not to be confused with the "poo bus" that runs on human waste. The paint job reminds me of Gateway computers,but I doubt there's a connection. Take that OPEC!
