It had to happen, sooner or later. Now our pals at the Discovery Channel have “discovered” a new source of renewable energy to fuel our lawn mowers, blow dryers, and hifi-wifi laptops. You guessed it – watermelons.
As studies point out (as rthey always do), “….each year farmers across the country leave between 20 and 40 percent of their crop to rot on the ground. These are the ugly ducklings of the lot; though perfectly fine on the inside, the misshapen or blemished melons simply won’t sell at the grocery store.”
So, the logical move is to convert the buggers into ethanol, where it will help quench our endless thirst for all things combustible. Of course, the question could be posed – why not make potable alcohol out of all that perfectly good produce? Folks will certainly want it then.
What a great way to kick off Voting Day – free watermelon wine for everybody!
