I saw on Dirtiest Jobs once where a dairy farm actually did this. They recycled all the cow **** and turned it into electricity to power the farm.
Surprise...surprise.....the Volt's a total communist piece of ****..

it can also be handy in a weight loss program
besides probably making you lose your appetite, I recall reading in the book Seabiscuit that the jockeys would burrow themselves under piles of horse pucky because the heat it generated would help them sweat off a few extra pounds
edit: we're lucky that pucky is not in the filter
PS -LOL, I have to "go advanced" to make that comment!

I think the light should also display on the outside of the vehicle and if your flower rating is low, the green police gets to come arrest you.
The only problem with the whole situation is that the auto industry blocks seemingly effective and clean technology such as cars that run on natural gas, because of the kickback they get on oil sales, and they promote pipe-dream and very inefficient technology such as hydrogen cars, hybrid cars, electric cars, and ethanol, to keep up their "oil kickbacks". The way I see it is the government should start letting the auto industry deflate (because they own most of it) and start pursuing short term, a middle term, and a long term approach to beating the foreign oil dependency.
For short term (5-10 years), I would shoot for a goal of 25 mpg's for every "personal" car to enter the market, and a progression of a small number of miles per gallon every year, so like 25 MPG's in 2012, 26 in 2013 and so on.
For middle term (15-20 years) start working on developing engines that can use natural/clean gas NOW, and hope to implement in the near future.
For long term- (25+) start the nuclear car revolution, same strategy as natural gas, start working on it now.
But i'm not the president... yet.

Natural gas still emits greenhouse gases, and it is still primarily a fossil fuel.
The sheilding on a truly nuclear car would be prohibitively heavy. Naval vessels are already huge, but who wants to dive a care as large as three tanks?
To make a long-term impact, the small independent will eventually need to rely on the distribution channels of the major manufacturer. Organically growing such a chain in the face of competition would be a very slow prospect.
It's for my girlfriend and she loves it. Who isn't proud of getting someone a gift that they enjoy? Now would I buy one for myself? Probably not, but largely because I drive other people around too frequently for a two-seater to be practical.
Personally, I'm more entranced with it's buttons that change modes between "econ" "normal" and "sport" (which is less fuel efficient but decidedly peppy). When I drove it I kept mashing those buttons to listen to the engine change sounds and pretending I was in Speed Racer.
Also, to both you and Trout "gay" isn't a perjorative. Knock it off.
This law and program already exists and has for 30 years. Thanks for playing. We all have been so impressed by your deep knowledge of the industry.
You mean Tesla?

Sounds like a pejorative to me.
Let me ask this. In the 19th century gay simply meant happy. Over time it morphed into a word associated with homosexuality. Why can it not morph again into a word that simply means something akin to stupid or lame? In fact, lame is another great example of a word that has morphed over time.

The same wiki also has this segment:
But who's cherry picking?
You have resisted that exact argument with respect to the word marriage.
Apparently, both of us.
If I could +3 for this, I would.

I drove a Geo Metro that gave me 50-55 mpg.
