Pablo Escobar's illegal herd got out of his zoo after he died and are actually spreading.< http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27905743 >
Interesting. They either have to do a massive slaughter, or the amazon will be overrun by hippos.
I wonder if piranhas would eat them all, though.

biofuel

That's gonna become your thing.

I think it already is.It solves so many problems involving excess organics.

Inefficient, though. How many houses will be powered by the hippo biofuel conversion plant that you built for 20 mil? Only got a couple hundred hippos to convert.

You can do biofuel efficiently, at least in theory. It's still being worked on.But you wouldn't build it for a single input type. You'd build it to take organic paste as input, and then convert your input to paste first. Simpler.

Or, one could grow a Lexx.

From hippo paste?

Why not? They grew the one in the show from the corpses of thousands and thousands of "criminals."

Truth be told, the main reason I like "biofuel" is it reminds me so much of "< fethers >".So who's the nerd now?
