Amphibians Police Green Transportation

Or, Whatever Happened To Burn Energy Drink?

Tonight, we take yet another spin through the vast unknown of RecycleBill's Blogroll using alternative fuels, of course.

From the local guy who brought us Burn Energy Drink we have a story about a truly green, low cost pontoon boat that anyone can afford to own and operate.

While most automakers are wondering what they'll do next one new automaker has 10,000 orders for a green police car they've yet to make. But when you view the specs I think you'll understand why. Unlike most police cars, these won't end up as being hunks of junk being sold at auction when the time comes to replace them as the manufacturer plans to recycle every car they build.

Speaking of recycling cars, one big problem for the recycling industry is something we call fluff. When cars are shredded the stuff that isn't metal gets blown out of the metals mix by large fans, loaded onto trailers and hauled to landfills. I don't know what the ratio of fluff to metal actually is but I'm willing to bet that fluff makes up almost as much by volume as the metals in the car. And now we learn that California intends to ban fluff in landfills. If recyclers are forced to remove the non metallic parts from cars before sending the cars to the shredder then anyone who gets rid of a junk car will have to pay recyclers to take old cars off their hands.
