I read that article, it's quite the read. Although it's laid out like the onion's site and I thought it was a parody at first.

Yeah, its a bit interesting. I never realized beer waste could be used as an ethenol based fuel or biofuel.
Sierra Nevada does a SH*T TON of green energy work. Solar panels, recycling co2, fuel, energy, you name it.
There's always a little alcohol in the trub, so distilling it out makes some sense. I question if this would be energy efficient, though. Maybe with low-pressure flash distillation it would work and it wouldn't reduce it's value as feed.
very cool.

That's certainly creative. I'd be curious to see how much they actually save compared to purchasing fuel.
