    Oh dear: Cows make fuel for biogas train

    "You have to tell yourself the cows are going to die anyway.

    Inside the abattoir at Swedish Meats in Linkoping, the cows stood patiently, occasionally nuzzling the lens of our camera.

    From there, it was a short walk past the white-walled butchery, down the steps to the basement where the raw material for biogas, slid greasily down a chute.

    Still bubbling and burping, and carpeting you with an acrid stench, came the organs and the fat and the guts. Enough, from one cow, to get you about 4km (2.5 miles) on the train."

    It seems the vegetarians/vegans of this world are going to have a hard time running the car of the future then...

      Perhaps there is a role for immigrants in the UK after all.

        New Labours version will be to use Tory voters.

        Limited supply though.
