ROADS PAVED WITH PIG MANURE COULD MEAN A CLEANER FUTURE

Roads here aren't paved with gold, but one day they might be paved with pig manure. And that's not a bad thing.

A new video created by the National Science Foundation explains new research into using waste from pigs to create a more environmentally friendly alternative to the petroleum-based asphalt that is currently used in roads today.

It turns out that pig manure has oils that can be used to create a petroleum-like substance, which can be mixed with sand or gravel to make a strong asphalt substitute. Researchers are currently putting the resulting bio-asphalt through its paces, making sure that it will stand up to the daily stressors of life as a road.

Don't let Kathy Phillips the Assateague Coast Keeper, Maria Payan or Lisa Inzerillo see this, they will go ape sh!t over this. You think the chicken industry is in their cross hairs, wait till someone mentions this to them. They will come up with 10 binders of internet research stating how bad it is for the Paleo channel and the schools.

It would probably really stink in weather like this. Are they able to remove that smell?

Lot of road projects have been called 'pork barrel' so this makes sense.
