Carl: Uh! What’s that smell?
Jody: I’m working on my latest
invention. I’m turning our old food
into an energy source for our car and
our house.
Carl: Why? There are already lots of types of
renewable energy that power cars
and homes, and none of them smell like this!
Jody: Well, I think I’m onto a better alternative.
Imagine being able to recycle your
unwanted food into fuel. That’s
the wave of the future.
Carl: You mean you think that it would be
more efficient than wind
power and solar energy? There
are geothermal and hydroelectric
power plants that already provide energy
for lots of homes and businesses.
Jody: But I’m using food that would otherwise
be wasted.
Carl: I hate to break it to you, but if
you want to convert food into fuel,
there are already different types of
biofuels that work pretty well.
Jody: You mean somebody has already
beaten me to the punch?
Carl: Yes, and I bet they’ve found a way to do it
without this stench!
