Inventor denies using dead cats for fuel

I guess maybe the American press isn't quite so bad after all. Our MSM may pull some real doozies, but at least we don't pick up our newspapers and find headlines like this one from Bild in Germany that read:

“German inventor can turn cats into fuel -- for a tank he needs 20 cats.”

Apparently this inventor never told the reporter any such thing, however he will admit to the possibility of offing some amphibians.

Christian Koch, an inventor and patent holder of the “KDV 500” that he said produces high quality fuel, said he can transform waste products such as paper, rubbish and plastic materials into fuel.

But Koch, 55, said there was no truth to stories published in Bild newspaper on Tuesday and Wednesday that suggested he used dead cats as part of the mix for his organic diesel fuel.

“I use paper, plastics, textiles and rubbish,” Koch told Reuters.

“It’s an alternative fuel that is friendly for the environment. But it’s complete nonsense to suggest dead cats. I’ve never used cats and would never think of that. At most the odd toad may have jumped in.”

Apparently this guy really has come up with a way to create usable fuel out of biodegradable trash and has been running his diesel car on it for quite some time now. Check out the article. This may turn out to be revolutionary in the field of energy conservation. Just hide your cats and toads.
