TLouden writes "The Rocky Mountain News had an article today about Community Power Corp. and its new BioMax unit which uses renewable resources such as corncobs, sawdust pellets, and coconut shells to produce electricity. This gasifier unit isn't commercially available yet but we might be seeing it sometime in 2004."

    Give him wood chips, coconut husks, corncobs, even chicken litter, and Robb Walt will turn it into electricity and heat

    Wood chips, schmood chips. Humans are the way to go.

    The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTUs of body-heat. Combined with a form of fusion, BioMax would have found all the energy they would ever need!
