Powering Restaurants WIth Deep Fried Fuel
Mike writes "Here's a brilliant idea for biofuels: rather than filtering used fry oil for use in vehicles, why not simplify matters and use it to heat and power the restaurant itself? The VegaWatt turns used vegetable oil into clean heat and energy for restaurants, eliminating the dirty and costly mess of oil disposal while producing 10-25% of the electricity needed to run a small restaurant. It also produces fuel free of chemicals or fossil fuels, unlike standard biodiesel."
Soylent heat is people (leftovers)!
Now if they could only harness the methane from all those cows -- then we'd be talking about McDonald's as a serious energy company.
I think McDonald's is a part of a conspiracy...
1) Get people fat ...
2) Oil runs out
3) Render down said fat people (ala whales)
5) Profit!
I for one welcome smog warnings that are accompanied by the delicate scent of fries.
On the other hand, you'll have to burn more of it to drag your fat ass to the McDonald's in the only megavan that it will fit in.
I don't believe in time. It's a grand conspiracy designed to sell watches.
Plastic surgery clinics could do that too. It would be better than just leaving their lipid waste in big plastic bags in bio hazard dumpsters, where anyone can just jump the fence and steal it.
You can't take the sky from me...
That's why I use only the top notch dark matter to make my fries.
Solving it the American way baby! Can't shoot at it? Aw. Throwing money at it doesn't help? Aw. Wait... revolutionary idea... let's deep fry it!!! *The suits come out of the conference room giving mental pats on the back to themselves*

Or the diners after they've eaten a big mac
Now if they could only harness the methane from all those customers -- then we'd be talking about Taco Bell as a serious energy company.
