Poop powered motorcycle story is full of......hot air.

So you may have seen this story floating through the intertubes earlier this month, a toilet trike powered by human poop is going on a month long tour of Japan. Well, no. A trike built by toilet company Toto, that extracts power from bio-mass sourced from local farms will tour the country to push said company's green iniatives. The toilet is just the seat and is non functional.
Now, while we here at The HEP applaud the advancement of hippie engine tech, the real story revolves around how green blogs fell over themselves to push the concept of human feces for energy. Most everytime I came across this story, it containted that same line of crap. No one seemed bothered to visits Toto's blog which states right off the git that Toilet Bike Neo DOESN'T RUN OFF POOP. Oh Well, whatever sells papers, er, digital ads.
