Inventor disputes reports; dead cats "inefficient, don't burn clean"

I'm sure you all remember that Oddly Enough! story about the inventor who's made a new process to turn waste materials like paper, rubbish, plastic goods, and dead cats into fuel. (Ananova v4 i43 p34, "Inventor turns dead cats into diesel").

Well, now he's saying that the "dead cats" part is... dead wrong!

It turns out that he did experiment with both dead kittens and puppies, but he decided that they were too "inefficient" and not "clean-burning" enough. Now he's concentrating on inanimate objects, including rubbish like discarded child's toys and old photograph albums.

Full story on this plucky inventor here.
