1:11p - From Cow to Fuel
So in a world in which oil has probably hit its Hubbert Peak, the world's energy makers are nosing around for new means of fueling the vehicles that keep the world moving. Filling our gas tanks full of corn may not have panned out, but there are other options.Like, for example, a planned Nebraska facility to turn 22 million pounds of tallow (i.e. Beef fat) a week into biodiesel. It's a win-win situation: consumers eat delicious, lean meat, and the fat that was taken off of the cow carcasses can go to fueling buses, locomotives, and trucks, some of which move said cows. Hooray for a brave new world of cars that run on cow!
