164 Years in the Making

In honor of Thomas Edison's 164th Birthday today (Thomas Edison), I have come across an interesting post on how a Canadian Waste Plant is turning wasted soda and beer into a clean energy source. I know living in a college town most of you are probably thinking why would they waste beer and soda on clean energy, when people could drink it. However they apparently are using expired products that would have just been pulled off the shelf and gone down the drain anyways. Just think of the possibilities.....These products create ethanol a clean burning fuel. It's amazing where we have come from in the past 100 years. It all started with the light bulb! :)
