Solution to high fuel prices

I have some ideas that will solve the high fuel prices. All of the details are not worked out but I can give a hint: It would be along the lines of bio-diesel and would involve liposuction.

Re: Solution to high fuel prices

Maybe a new hybrid design? They can build the liposuction machine right into the car and think of the time savings too...

Yup. As long as you don't sit on the needle "improperly". Ouch!

Of course South Park fans know who did "IT" first!

Liposuction and cheap fuel?

Should sell VERY well with the California crowd, especially around Beverly Hills! Lots of fuel available around there.

Cheers!

Re: Solution to high fuel prices

Biodiesel plant being built near Denton, to supply that fine city with diesel fuel. I suspect they'd sell some of the excess . . . Otherwise, the next closest plant is supposed to be in the panhandle, near a cotton seed oil mill.

You forgot one thing . . . biological methane production. I'm sure the legume producers could benefit too. Just got to figure out the right "jetting" . . . as storage issues are already taken care of.

Enjoy!

Nope, I don't think the biomethane suggestion would work.

Seems like most of the biomethane production is already committed to the Washington, D.C. area--especially around Capitol Hill.

If you don't think this is correct, just remember--smoking is now banned in all Federal buildings. Can't risk a stray spark causing a fire around all those politicians.
