A doctor in California has been using the fat he removed from his patients during liposuction to power his SUV. A gallon of fat works out to being about a gallon of fuel and is environmentally friendly. However, the doctor, Craig Alan Bittner, is currently being investigated since it’s illegal to use human medical waste for this purpose. Meanwhile, the poultry company Tyson is looking into running their trucks on excessive chicken fat.

"The vast majority of my patients request that I use their fat for fuel--and I have more fat than I can use," Bittner wrote on lipodiesel.com. "Not only do they get to lose their love handles or chubby belly but they get to take part in saving the Earth." Bittner's lipodiesel Web site is no longer online. (forbes)
