July 31, 2007 1:00 AM Put a turkey in your tank Imagine driving the new Audi 300 TTG (where the letters stand for Turbo Turkey Guts). As reported in New Scientist earlier this month, a U.S. renewable energy firm presently converts 225 tonnes of inedible turkey guts into 500 barrels of oil each day. The remarkable process used by Changing World Technologies heats the waste under high temperature and pressures in a two-step process that simulates the natural formation of oil underground. Now, I wonder if only they could do that with Tofurky?

Wow, that sounds just so barbaric and savage like!
Taking the guts of so many birds, it's measured in hundreds of tons and processing it into fuel oil.
It just seams more humane and sentient to be as vegitarian as possible and make cars that run on electricity or hydrogen or compressed air or hemp oil or some other benign and environmentally friendly substance. . .
