Beer Power?
A fuel cell power plant in Sierra Nevada, California has been upgraded to take advantage of a new technology which uses beer-brewing waste to produce methane fuel.
The power plant is owned by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, and was originally designed to run on natural gas.
By implementing the new beer-waste system, the brewery will be able to reduce energy costs by 25-40%.
Yet another indication that beer drinking will indeed save the world!
