That would work well with argon gas, and it would be emission-free if you ignored the emissions generated by the charging process. A solar-heated boiler could be used to provide super high pressure steam which could be carried in an insulated on board tank to power a solar/steam car. A car powered by kegs of solar-heated beer might be a better idea. Of course, if Big Oil hadn't had the CIA seize all the plans, we could have self-charging, emissions-free electric cars with an electric motor driving a generator to provide endless clean, quiet power. Fuel taxes to maintain roads and crumbling bridges could easily be replaced simply by making the wealthy pay their fair share. Better yet, now that coyotes are invading our major cities, we can simply round them up and train them to run in onboard treadmills powering our tinycars. No more kitchen scraps in our landfills! 5 to 7 coyotes should be adequate to power a sensible-sized urban Commuta-Kar at any reasonable speed.

I heard somewhere, whether or not it was a joke or true, I do not know. Someone had invented a bus which ran on human flatuance. The seats were developed to pipe it to the engine.

That might do to power an NFL team bus ... feed 'em plenty of refried beans and away they'd go. Bio Methane... an important part of our clean, green, renewable future!

Who says you can't drive your car and drink to it too.

The new norm - a renewable (we bread cows that eat renewable greens) is doubling renewable now that we can capture their gas

Firewood? Who needs it? Just stuff a cow in the fireplace and light it. BBQ? Sure thing... got a light?

If they mean 80 gallons of liquid methane, our problems are solved! One cow could run a Cadillac all day long, and you'd probably have to stop freqently to offload excess liquid methane for cash or eco-credits. A 1968 Cadillac Fleetwood would be hard pressed to burn off more than 5 gallons an hour, even doing 80 MPH on the interstate whill pulling a cow in an aerodynamic, self-cleaning trailer. Fuel stops could provide quality, renewable hay and water for the cow and collection points for cow emissions, which would be delivered to the digesting plants to make more methane. A couple of loaded, double-decker cattle cars could run a freight train from coast to coast!

All the inventive surmise made by folks who have never even been near a cow, much less know how they "operate".

There were some powered by natural gas but research has turned up that great majority of these of these cars in the US, UK and EU were powered by coal gas. Read about them and see more photos of them @

The hot air produced by one politician could power a small city for a whole year, in fact they already do !
