Don’t Drink And Drive-Drive On Your Drink

Scottish scientists have come up with a way to use the waste from whisky making to create a new bio fuel. They even claim it is ready to be used without modifying car engines as required with ethanol and can be used as a higher percentage of blended fuel than ethanol as well. Wonder how long it will take to get across the pond.

So, does it have to come from the by-products of Scotch whiskey production? Think I'll take a pass on increasing the demand. Now gimme a bourbon waste fuel and, umm, "Bartender, I'll take one for the road!"

So, now instead of putting up with a drunk at each corner looking to wash or windshield, or just a hand out, they're going to be crawling around behind cars sniffing the tail pipes?

This process will never work with Irish Whiskey cause there's no chance for any waste!
