Japanese Make Gasoline From Cattle Dung
(via)Scientists in energy-poor Japan said Friday they have found a new source of gasoline cattle dung.
Sakae Shibusawa, an agriculture engineering professor at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, said his team has successfully extracted 1.4 milliliters (0.042 ounces) of gasoline from every 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cow dung by applying high pressure and heat.
()() If this becomes commercially viable then Washington, DC could become the world's largest producer of gasoline. There's plenty of bull@!$%# there.
