Swedes eye fowl as power-plant fuel

UMEA, Sweden, March 10 (UPI) -- A Swedish firm's proposal to use dead chickens to generate electricity probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind in terms of alternative energy.

But Umea Energi is ready to move forward with a proposal that would use chicken carcasses from egg farms as fuel for a power-generating furnace.

Umea operates in the frozen north of Sweden and is seeking a permit to burn as many as 9,000 dead hens per year along with other combustible waste, the newspaper Västerbottens-Kuriren reports.

Company officials said they had plenty of non-poultry fuel sources and would use the carcasses as a favor to the egg ranchers. At the same time, a company spokesman noted that "chickens are just the right size" for the fuel stream.

Is that why they have chickens on the front page of FASCs website? Haha, just kidding. Anyways, I just thought I'd post this to buoy the spirits here a little more. Matt Drudge seems to be eco-crazy these days (or maybe he just wants to make Europeans look eco-crazy)...either way I'd love for FASC to start penetrating the European market, where alternative energy really seems to be gaining in popularity. And I wouldn't mind a piece on the KDS showing up on Drudge either.
