Fayetteville has made World headlines today as a result of breakthrough research involving bioethanol fuel produced from municipal landfill waste. In other words, somebody figured out how to make gas out of trash. And that somebody is Bioengineering Resources, Inc. of Fayetteville.
According to a press release, INEOS, one of the top three chemical companies in the world, has announced that it is aiming to produce commercial quantities of bioethanol fuel from biodegradable municipal waste within two years. The technology, which was developed in Fayetteville changes carbon-based materials into ethanol.
INEOS is the largest privately owned company in Britain and has recently created a new branch, INEOS Bio, with locations across the world in order to commercialize and license the breakthrough technology.
“We expect the Fayetteville site to continue to be the technology center for INEOS Bio as it grows,” said Bruce Walker, site manager for INEOS Bio in Fayetteville. Mayor Coody agrees. “The plan is to develop a pilot plant here in Fayetteville that will be able to take our municipal waste and turn it into desperately needed clean fuel,” said Coody.
As for the direct impact this will have on Fayetteville, we’re not sure. Will we be viewed as more of a “green” city? Will there be more “green collar” jobs available here in the future? Will all of this even come to fruition? We certainly hope so.
Congrats, Fayetteville. You rule.

This is potentially huge.
How exciting…

You know they hire women don’t you. Imagine those jobs being taken from men…pisses you off doesn’t it???

Wow. One more reason why I’m proud to live in Fayetteville.

Eh, not really. The more the wimmen work, the more time I have to masturbate, drink beer, and watch RAZORBACK women’s volleyball.

Nice to see some good news come out of f-town :)

Mars Petcare has been running a large plant off landfill gas for a while now. Very cool technology.

Totalbastard has a large reserve of trapped gas. Maybe somebody besides his boyfriend should tap into him.

Wow, darlin, you sure got worked up over some Title IX disagreement, didn’t ya?
Its okay, sweetheart. Its okay…
July 22nd, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Yes, and you deserve the shit. Stalking? You wish.
BTW you seem to have me confused with your sweetheart boyfriend.
Also, the name was just for you…dick wad.

As much as I’m sure both the people who read this site enjoy your sophomoric attempts at hurting my feelings, I have a better idea for productive use of your time.
Why don’t you call some of your WNBA-obsessed, mullet-sporting lesbian friends. Round up a posse and set a time and place. I suggest the old Malco parking lot. Be sure to check with Crazy Bob, because I’d hate to interrupt his judo free-weights session.
When I fail to show (because the Big Ten network is replaying the wimmen’s volleyball championship), you can all go buy your Lady Backs Soccer tickets and really show me. Or, if you really want to support women’s athletics at the U of A, buy season football tickets. More revenue for all to “share”, plus you won’t be bored shitless, baking in an empty aluminum stadium come game time.
BTW, Coody suggests you carpool and keep it green. Since everybody knows wimmen don’t drive well, you all should mud wrestle to see who gets to drive. If there’s no mud available, I suggest you choose the lesbian with the lowest-hanging labia. This should help keep all the girlies safe.
No need to thank me.
Peace.
P.S. : WOW. I HAD NO IDEA WHERE YOU GOT YOUR NAME. THANKS FOR EXPLAINING!!!11

Can you two just exchange e-mail addresses already? Sheesh.
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:40 pm
P-Dub, no kidding, this is getting ridiculous/childish.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:09 pm
I get the impression they are the same person, someone bored and probably also pretty lame.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:25 am
Nah, we aren’t the same person.
I am pretty lame, though.
Just not as lame as TJ to stalk someone with differing opinions all over unrelated blogs.
Somebody needs some dick, and it ain’t me.
ABOUT INEOS:
A quick perusal of Google news reveals that this deal is mentioned in several online publications from the UK and here at the Discovery Channel:

Hopefully this will lead to more international exposure of the Green Valley push. I know Coody has been entertaining and talking to several Swedish firms, and this news helps our exposure in Europe, where green technologies are far ahead of what they are in the U.S.
Cood-os again to Coody.

In case you all were wondering, this is what my dad does. He worked for Bioengineering Resources and now he works for Rineco (in Benton, AR). Then after work, he goes to a Chick Fil A. If he still lived in Fayetteville, I’m sure he would go to the new Chick Fil A on 6th street.
