| I don't think Bertel would have gone for my original headline:
The website domesticfuel.com reports that a Utah State team has built and tested the world's first biofuel vehicle powered by cheese. The watery fuel is actually a yeast blended with waste material from a local cheese processing plant. Powered by a one-liter two-cylinder diesel motor, the blue dragster-like single-seater débuted at the Bonneville Salt Flats where it shredded the world land speed record in its biofuel class, topping out at 64.3 MPH. According to onlookers, the car's exhaust smelled like, "fresh-baked bread." Utah State biochemistry professor Lance Seefeldt says this technology could come to market in as few as five years. One obstacle to growth might be if the EPA catches wind of the cheese and steps up regulation of the use, storage and transporting of discarded cheese waste. Kudos to Utah State. If this technology is used on cars that burn corn ethanol we would have a cheese/corn hybrid! from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com | |||
