Cool Methane as alternate fuel?

We have dairy and Hog farms in the Midwest using Methane produced from manure to power spark ignition gasoline engine generators. I've seen where Methane can be used like propane in a conversion kit for car engines. Anyone considered trying Methane? There's lots of it that otherwise winds up in the atmosphere......

The EPA and department of sanitation better put their heads together for a new miles per * rating system!

At last! Nationwide trips without gas or bathroom stops. Now if we could somehow manage the food situation.

Just stock up on Ho-Ho's and cheese doodles and recycle the urine back into bottled drinking water.

FTW!
