Sheep are the new green fuel. Trust me!
G?day.
I was giving the Aston Martin Lagonda a spin this morning, top down, even though the weather in the UK is total pants! I tuned into something called BBC Radio Two. Between the hours of 7-30 and 9-30 in the morning they have this nice Irish guy called Terry Wogan giving it the raw prawn.
Strewth! The guy?s over 60 and a knight! I felt really old as I listened. The news reader did his bit on global warming and stuff and then he mentioned that the old capital city of England was converting it?s busses to run on sheep?s urine to cut down global warming.
Are you kidding! I was glued.
It appears that by spraying the emissions of a diesel engine with sheep?s urine carbon emissions are reduced to a much lower level.
The urine is collected by the fertiliser industry from farmyard waste and refined into pure urea, which is then sold on to be used in the green engine technology. BONZER!
Ammonia from the urea reacts with nitrous oxides in the exhaust fumes and converts them to nitrogen gas and water, which is released as steam.
Blimey! I?d imagined some great hunk of a guy squeezing the poor jumbuck into the gas tank! Or even several sheep on board being given great quantities of the amber nectar and someone percolating the by products direct into the engine.
I?ll say this to the Pom?s, they may have strange ideas like moving their capital city from Hampshire to London but when you consider the amount of sheep us Aussies have they take the bloody bisquit.
Perhaps they should coin a new phrase. ?Go to work on a sheep.?
By the way, Winchester is by far a nicer place than London.
Melony Frontage.
