"   Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it was powering a car! Tyson, the chicken champion, has merged with Syntroleum to create Dynamic Fuels, a manufacturing company that will create fuel from chicken fat and other leftover animal fats produced by Tyson Foods. Pork, chicken, beef, general grease, it&amp;#039;s all good! Dynamic Fuels is opening a plant in Louisiana that will be able to churn out 75 million gallons of fuel a year. The product is not biodiesel. The fats and oils are heated to the point at which their molecular structures are altered and then refined into fuel. This will act more like traditional diesel than biodiesel, which means it&amp;#039;s more adaptable to the world in which we currently live. &amp;quot;This fuel offers the same benefits of synthetic fuels derived from coal or natural gas, including substantial performance and environmental advantages over petroleum-based fuels,&amp;quot; Jeff Webster, vice president of Tyson&amp;#039;s Renewable Products Division, said.  There is also potential for the creation of jet fuel. The U.S. Air Force has agreed to buy 40,000 gallons for testing purposes. The company is relying on Congress to give them a tax break - a common hope amongst alternative energy companies. The hope is that Congress will restore the one-dollar per gallon renewable diesel tax credit that existed before December 2009. But the real question remains unanswered: Does this mean Louisiana is going to smell like one big Popeye&amp;#039;s? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
