Norfolk Town's Schools First To Be Heated By Burning Cattle

A "trailblazing" Norfolk town has begun heating many of its buildings - including the schools - by burning oil made from melted-down cow and pig carcasses. The strategy is described as "equal or lower in carbon footprint than natural gas." Should schools have to offer vegetarian heating?

    So we should bury the refuse instead of utilizing as much as we can?

    Clearly, you've been educated beyond your intellect.

    It's a wonderful leap forward in green technology. By eliminating the sources of methane gas, the world gets a lot greener.

    Once you can get over the sound of all the shrieking cows.

    Incidentally, so are babies. Which begs the question: why aren't we looking into babies as an alternative source of energy? I'm sure they can be melted down just as easily and I'll bet we can find plenty of willing producers.

    Burning fat for heat is traditional. The Inuit have been doing it for millennia.

    Hmmn, I think America's energy problems are over.
