SocraticGadfly: Cows + motor oil = green?

Cows + motor oil = green?

Huh? You may wonder, what’s up?

Rendering bovine fat into motor oil is what’s up.

The product, G-Oil, is already used in small engines and is seeking American Petroleum Institute certification for normal automobile application.

It’s not totally green, in that there’s still the waste issue. But, as Americans need to eat less fat, anyway, it’s a brilliant idea on the front end. Can it be done with other fats, like hog lard?
