Chemists in the UK (and no, I don't mean the guys who fill your prescriptions in the drugstore, for you British readers) claim to have developed a powdered form of methane (the very stuff of farts, though the methane they're working with comes from off the coast of South Carolina), for easy storage and dispensing as an alternative fuel. And no, this is not a photo of the powder, but rather of good ole household sugar, which is said to resemble the stuff. Can "powdered cow farts for natural energy" be far behind? Via Discovery.
Powdered Methane
In Manchester, England, they've figured out a way to directly poop-power homes with biomethane gas (converted from city sewage). The gas is pumped directly into people's homes! That's right, kids...you flush your poop down the toilet, and then they send it back to you! Craaaazy!
