Steve H. proposes a solution to the energy crisis

The ever-resourceful Steve H. has cogitated deeply and come up with a unique solution to not just one, but two pressing issues of the day:

Oil prices are out of sight. Liberals have succeeded in banning nuclear plants, which produce the only safe, inexpensive energy. Cows are farting us into extinction. Farts are flammable. Do the math, and you end up with . . . the fart-powered Prius!

It's simple. Cows are used to the indignity of milking machines, so it will be no trouble at all getting them used to wearing collection bags hooked up to their sphincters. We pump the gas into storage containers, pressurize it, and distribute it from ordinary filling stations. Then celebrities and other gullible guinea pigs will be encouraged to buy Priuses specially designed to run on farts.

We are truly privileged to be on the same planet with a mind this, er, fertile.
