    If we have to mine the obese for fuel, I think this man (Ex-Exxon CEO Lee Raymond) might not enjoy the irony. #biofuel

    The rabbit population here in Denver is always kept in check by the coyotes. We need a generator that runs off of Canadian Geese, and Californians. #biofuel

    Well, if this were true, we'd now have alternative energy advocates fighting with cancer patients over this resource. Let the Hair Wars begin!

    Even as a hoax, this is infinitely more plausible than that "law of time" crap from another article.

    @Moonlighter: none of the comments on that post show it's a hoax. there just one guy with a voltimeter hooked up to his wifes hair. hardly conclusive proof either way. granted it could still be a hoax but it's hardly be proven as such, at least not in those comments.

    I'm down with this idea. I mean, if you're going to have massive stretches of asphalt to park on, you may as well put something that'll generate some energy on it as well instead of something that's just going to absorb heat and radiate it when the sun goes down.

    Google already has this at their headquarters in Mountain View, complete with cables hanging down for electric cars to charge with. Of course, they're flat awnings, not cool artificial trees.
