The Answer to our Energy Crisis: Dead Cats

Well, I think it's pretty sick, I'm not even sure how you would think of it in the first place, but leave it to the Germans....

Inventor fuels car with dead cats

Wednesday, September 14, 2005; Posted: 9:58 a.m. EDT (13:58 GMT)

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A German inventor has angered animal rights activists with his answer to fighting the soaring cost of fuel -- dead cats.

Christian Koch, 55, from the eastern county of Saxony, told Bild newspaper that his organic diesel fuel -- a homemade blend of garbage, run-over cats and other ingredients -- is a proven alternative to normal consumer diesel.

"I drive my normal diesel-powered car with this mixture," Koch said. "I have gone 170,000 km (106,000 miles) without a problem."

The Web site of Koch's firm, "Alphakat GmbH", says his patented "KDV 500" machine can produce what he calls the "bio-diesel" fuel at about 23 euro cents (30 cents) a liter, which is about one-fifth the price at petrol stations now.

Koch said around 20 dead cats added into the mix could help produce enough fuel to fill up a 50-liter (11 gallon) tank.

But the president of the German Society for the Protection of Animals, Wolfgang Apel, said using dead cats for fuel was illegal.

"There's no danger for cats and dogs in Germany because this practice is outlawed in Germany," Apel told Bild on Wednesday in a story entitled "Can you really make fuel out of cats?"

"We're going to keep an eye on this case," Apel said.


Wow...only 20 dead cats to make 11 gallons of fuel? We're gonna need more dead cats.

I wonder if you could use just the inedible leftovers from Chinese restaurants, or if you need the whole cat?

Well its things like this that show its completely possible to develop cars that could run on alternative fuels. Obviously the dead cats are going to get the attention in this case but the article said the car runs on garbage too. But of course its going to take a lot of effort for any kind of major shift when the oil companies are making $110 million a day of pure profit.

It'd be nice if they would put some of that revenue into research for cars like this .

Funny thing--the first time I saw that book was at my grandmother's house about 20 years ago. I'm surprised it's even still in print.
