Are woodland creatures the newest source of energy?

Do we need to consider some REAL alternative energy sources?

Wasn't there a post on PPOT a while back about some company developing a "robot warrior" that would be self sufficient by "feeding" on the dead on the battlefield? Bunnies seem pretty insignificant compared to the robot.

edit - I just looked it up and it's apparently now a vegetarian robot...

I love the fact that they use the word "bunnies" and show the cute little household pets, instead of using the word "hare" and showing some mangy fleabag feral animal...

Freeze em and then toss them in the stove like coal. Isn't coal bunnies, and plants and stuff that has just been dried and compressed for a while? Same stuff.

That's because the article is not about wild rabbits, but about house hold bunnies let loose after folks got bored with it. And then needing to be eradicated because they breed... like rabbits.


Now the thing i find most odd in the article, is that they first freeze the rabbits, transport em, then use em for fuel

Fuel for what? Electricity? the kind you need to freeze things?
