Japan has figured out how to turn cow dung into gasoline!!!

Talk about renewable energy:

So according to the article, they have enough cow dung to create about 1.8 million gallons of gasoline per year.


According to this and a few other sources:  http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/price.html -- the price of a gallon of gas is around $3.84/gallon.  So, they are sitting on nearly $7 million dollars worth of gasoline.  I wonder how much it would cost to convert all that cow dung?


And how much dung does the US have lying around?  I wonder what the catalysts are....
