    i guess its gd to recycle. i mean if u remove the fat u might as well make it useful cos fat contains a lot of energy in it. so it only makes sense to use it. i just never knew it stored that much energy.

    It's massively inefficient if you think about it though. It takes a massive amount land to get just a single a pound of meat, and just think about how much fat could there be in a pound of meat. But wait, what about the fried foods? Lol. My theory has been shot down.
     
  10. yea looks pretty badass.. and energy efficient.. lol

    so I just had a quick skim.. why's it have to be human fat??

    for 3 million why couldn't they had stuck a fat lithium battery on it?? -lol

    kills two birds with one stone. found an alternative to oil and gotten rid of heart disease/diabetes and all that other bad stuff that goes along with obesity.

    thats the big issue with bio-diesel

    you have to chop down huge amounts of forest to make way for plantations to grow the crops to make bio-diesel. which kinda kills the environment anyway....

    this is well old, there was no need to dig it back up unless u had something better to say. though we could rele do with using human fat considering the cost that petrol is going up and at the rate that obesity is rising lol.
