‘Nuts’ are becoming popular

It seems like nuts are gaining in their popularity, from Jesse’s Jackson saying that he wanted to ‘cut [Barack Obama’s] nuts off’ to now a story highlighting the potential of Amazonian nuts as a biofuel. Take a look:

Algae and nuts are among the alternative sources of fuel being considered by an increasingly skittish aviation industry as an alternative to petroleum, whose price rises threaten airlines with bankruptcy.

 

With oil prices poised to break through the $150 a barrel barrier, biofuels based on sources of energy like these no longer seem far-fetched — but they will take years to develop and no-one will be flying in a farm-fuelled jet any time soon.

 

(…)

 

Nuts from Amazon rainforests helped fuel the world’s first commercial airline flight partly powered by renewable energy earlier this year.

I’m sure Mr. Peanut is quite happy at these developments.
